38 Week Appointment


My 38 week appointment was this morning (we were 38 weeks along on Monday). Everything is still the same as last week. I am dilated to approximately 2 cm and Dr Wingo still wants to induce on Tuesday morning...at that point we will be 39 weeks, 1 day. I was convinced I would be so much further along today during my exam, considering the painful and consistent contractions I've had. I am literally having contractions at least 6 times an hour. On Tuesday, they were 4 minutes apart for 4 straight hours! Our Dr says that they are only going to help me for Tuesday. I really hope I don't need much Pitocin at all to get me over the hump from Early Labor to Active Labor. 

We are SO anxious to meet our baby girl! Our parents are coming to Nashville on Monday. It's going to be great to have them here to help with Weston and meet the babe!

5 days OR LESS until Weston meets his baby sister! Yay!

Ultrasound & Nursery (37 wks)

We went for our 37 week appointment on Monday, as well as an ultrasound to make sure baby turned...and she did!! This was such a relief. The ultrasound pictures are amazing. As you can see below, she is fully developed and just waiting to grace us with her cute little self. We are super, super excited to meet her. 

I've developed a small case of Preeclampsia, so Dr Wingo asked that I come back to see him. I went back today for that appointment - everything is still going great, my body is just ready to deliver this baby! That being said, Dr Wingo thinks it is best that we induce a little early. If baby girl hasn't made her arrival by July 17th, we will be inducing that day. So what does this mean? We will have a daughter in at least 12 days! It doesn't seem real. But we are so anxious to welcome her into our family :)

BABY GIRL - 37 WEEKS


The nursery is almost finished! I finally sat down and made the curtains for her room. I love them! They really bring the pink and grey together. I am obsessed with the canvas on the wall that Crystal Pollard painted for her. I think the bunnies are just so sweet! I found the prints at Rosenberry Rooms, but they were smaller and only one bunny on each canvas. I decided I wanted a large one, with more than one bunny, and voila! She painted exactly what I wanted. Isn't it gorgeous!?





We are just waiting on the glider to come in! I'll post another picture once it arrives.

Have a great weekend!
