Yet another baby update...

Yesterday Jeremy and I had another weekly doctor appointment. It looks like in the past week I've dilated another centimeter. So, as of right now I am about 100% effaced and 3 centimeters. I was surprised to have made any progress considering I sat on my butt all last week. Due date still stands at any day. I'm trying to take it easy until Friday- my last day of work. All of my co-workers are worried something is going to happen before then, but I'm feeling pretty good. We are just so ready for this little guy to come out! Jeremy wakes up in the morning and asks, "Did he come yet?" He's just a little anxious, can you tell? His anxiety is even worse now that baby Carson has been born. He told me yesterday this is ten times worse than waiting for Christmas to come. We will continue to keep everyone posted. My poor mom has been sick with the flu so she's made me promise that we don't have the baby before Wednesday. So after tomorrow, you better believe I am going to be jumping on a trampoline, doing jumping jacks and running for miles!

Another Baby Update

So, yesterday Jeremy and I had our 36 week appointment. Over the last week or so I've started to have somewhat painful contractions. Nothing serious and I didn't think much of it. Well, at our appointment yesterday we found out that baby Landon is definitely coming early! I am already 95-100% effaced and two centimeters dialated. Our doctor said I am going to have a super fast labor, which was great to hear. She said he could come in two days or he could come in two weeks, but he will definitely be here before March 22nd. Jeremy and I are really excited to know he is coming early but I'm not getting my hopes up that he will be here right away. I would like him to wait at least another week so his lungs will be fully developed, but it's all on his time. We will be sure to keep everyone posted!

Ugh....here you go...

Ok friends, FINALLY here is a very pregnant picture of myself at 32 weeks. I am now 33 weeks and will work on posting updated pictures soon. My mother-in-law took pictures last week while Jeremy and I were visiting for his sister's birthday. Now, do you see why I have not posted any pictures?

Quick update on our lives-
Jeremy started his insurance classes this last week and is really enjoying them. It's amazing how much information they cram into these classes. The poor guy looks like he's run a marathon after each one. He's doing really well and I'm proud of him. So, if anyone needs home/car/life insurance let him know!

Baby continues to grow. In my last post I talked about possibly having my due date moved up. Well, after an ultrasound to see the size of the baby, it was determined that the baby was perfect in size- it's just me. Apparently I just have a huge belly. Thankfully my stomach has slowed in growing. At our 32-week appointment I was only measuring a week ahead of schedule at 33-weeks. Our next appointment is February 9th- hopefully I will be right on schedule. We did find out that baby is in the breech position, but the doctor informed me he has PLENTY of room to drop into position. We are hoping in the next week or two. It would really be nice to breath again...






Jeremy loves talking to the baby. Unfortunately sometimes he forgets he doesn't have to literally put his mouth on my stomach and yell. :)

Baby Update

So, today Jeremy and I went in for what we thought was our 28 week appointment. Last appointment the baby was measuring big by a couple of weeks- now, he is measuring at 32 weeks! The doctor made me schedule an ultrasound asap so we can find out how big this little guy really is. It would be nice to be given an earlier due date. If it's four weeks from our original date of March 22nd, that would mean he will be born on my birthday, February 21st! We will find out for sure on Monday. I know I keep promising to post pictures and I will...as soon as Jeremy and I can figure out what is wrong with the camera. Just be patient with me. :)

Update

Ok, as promised here is the Klippenstein update. Right now I am currently seven months along. Baby is measuring big by a few weeks, so Jeremy and I are hoping for an earlier due date. We will find out during our next appointment on Dec. 30th. However, it looks like my dreams of having a nice 7 pound baby are out the window. My boss told me it's not like picking out turkeys- I'm gonna get what I get. :)

Life has been flying by with Christmas just around the corner. Thankfully I got most of my Christmas shopping done early this year thanks to 14 hours of shopping on Black Friday. It's a good thing to, because it is getting harder and harder to wrap presents. The baby sits so high that it is nearly impossible to bend or lean over. Jeremy has had to tie my shoes and help me put my socks on for the last several weeks. It's a little ridiculous.

We are so excited for Christmas. It's hard to believe that it is just three days away. We got our tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it is perfect. We have had a great time decorating and putting lights up everywhere. I must say, Jeremy is quite the interior decorator. I am very impressed. It's hard to believe that next year we will be celebrating the holidays with a nine month old baby!

*I am having trouble uploading all our photos, so I will have to do it tomorrow at work. It will get done, I promise!

New Leaf

Ok, I know that I totally stink at blogging. This is my vow from here on out to keep this baby updated! I'm turning over a new leaf! Starting tonight... Stay tuned.
