Weekly Visits

I know... I've been lagging on updating the blog. Sorry!
A lot has been happening. Not so much with the baby, but in preparation for the baby. I'm now going to the OB every Monday, so he can check on my progress and the progress of the baby. As of last Monday, he checked the estimated weight of the baby and she was ~6lbs 3oz! I was a kind of shocked. I thought he was going to say she was only around ~5+ lbs! This past Monday he didn't check the weight again, but he told me to start thinking about what I want to happen if I don't deliver by week 40, like possibly having an elective induction, which I am considering since I'm small and if the baby is pretty big by 40 weeks.

The last of our 3 baby showers was this past weekend, thrown by my mom, Tita Meds and Carla. Mostly family were there, although Desiree was able to make it from San Francisco and Sungita also made the drive from San Diego. Emma, Ella, Mika, Jessica and Jerry also threw Mark and I a shower at Jerry's house on Sept. 30. All our close friends were there! Emma did such a great job in coordinating everything and made a beautiful scrapbook, which I'm working on putting pictures in (one of my projects while on maternity leave waiting for the baby to arrive :)). Thank you to everyone for the wonderful showers! Me, Mark and the Baby are so blessed to have such warm and loving family and friends to welcome her into this world!

The nursery is pretty much done and all the clothes have been washed and put away. We just need the rocker/glider and then rearrange some of the furniture around. Once that is done, I'll take pictures and post them up so you can all see her room. :) Thanks to Lorna for coming with me to the Pasadena swap meet and helping me pick out the dressers for the baby room! :)

My mom will be staying with us next weekend to make sure we have everthing in place. We'll be spending a lot of the weekend cooking and storing the food in the freezer so Mark and I can easily heat up food to eat once the baby arrives since we probaby won't have time to cook and won't be able to eat out.

That's it for now. Sorry for lagging on updating the blog. I know some of you check it regularly. I've just been busy preparing for the BIG day! :) She'll be here very soon!

I am 38 weeks today and this is what my baby is doing: http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/calendar/week38
