36 weeks and 5 days.....

Our little girl that I am carrying is still nameless. STILL! Can you tell I am frustrated? Can you tell that it is bugging me that I can not call her by name when I talk about her?
I went to the OB today and measured at 35 weeks. I guess she is running out of room. I am 172.5 pounds and my blood pressure is fine. Our baby girl's heartrate was at 150 today. The OB talked to me about when to head to the hospital - contractions 5 minutes apart or water breaking and then checked to make sure the baby girl is head down - YEP SHE IS.....no wonder there is so much pressure! Apparently if I go into labour now, they will NOT stop it and do the C-Section. Seeing as I have never been in labour and have no idea what a contraction feels like, it should be interesting if it does happen. It didn't with Nathan and I don't expect it to with this little girl!
It is only 16 days before the scheduled C-Section and I am ready to go. Well, ready as I will ever be, knowing that I will have to be cut open to get her out and go through major abdominal surgery.... I can't wait to "meet" her even though I feel her throughout my days. It will be nice to see her actual face and have her little fingers grab at mine. It has been 5 years since we have had a baby in the house and yes, we are a little worried about how that is going to be. We are also worried about how Nathan will handle this new little girl and being a big brother. We have already seen a bit of regression on his part. Hopefully, as soon as he sees her and sees that she completes our family, he will be right on board with us in welcoming her to our family. But, until then, we are adjusting and will continue to adjust.

Now, if only we could figure out a name........

My ScrapShare Sisters ROCK!!!

I had to come and brag about my ScrapShare Sisters....

Most of you that know me, know that back in August 2008, I had a garage sale and sold all of my baby stuff. We had been trying for going on 3 years with NO LUCK. So, I figured that since I wasn't working and needed money and we were not getting pregnant, I would have a huge yard sale and clean out everything baby related and get rid of the "clutter". So, I sold it all but the crib (stuck in the very back of the attic) and the pack and play (kept it because we have visitors from Canada all the time who have babies).
In February (the 14th), we found out we were expecting (it took 3 years and 3 months). The only things we had were Nathan's clothes that did not sell, the crib and pack and play.

So.......here is why I love my SS Sisters......

First of all, at the Skyline Retreat, the ladies threw a baby shower for Just Marcy and I on the Saturday of the retreat. It was a lot of fun, the cake was superb and Marcy and I got some really awesome stuff from all the girls!

Well, this past weekend (the 19th), SBinGA (Sharon) threw me a baby shower in my own home and "Baby Girl Michalski" and I were SPOILED!!!!

• Marta (M911) drove down from Atlanta just to hang with me for the day,
• Sharon (SBinGA) sent out invites and brought the food,
• Cathryn (in Atlanta) sent a gift for the baby (hand-made bibs and scrapbooking items for a little girl's album) with Marta,
• Susan (Gr82baGATOR) sent in the mail the cutest little creeper and it arrived on Friday (the day before the shower) and
• Kuleen (Kermit) sent me a quilt that she made for the baby girl - and YES, it was wrapped in green tissue paper but the quilt was purple!

I am SPOILED and BLESSED beyond measure to have you all in my life!

SHE'S A MIRACLE.....

I had a 3D-4D Ultrasound on Tuesday and this time around it was successful! No feet in the way covering her face, just some little fingers and some awesome pictures! Thank you Mum and Dad for my early Christmas Gift (paying for the ultrasound) it was absolutely breathtaking!!! No more pictures Mummy, I am done. I need a nap now.....
Maybe now that we have sort of seen her face, we will be able to figure out what to name her. Cross your fingers!

30 Weeks and Counting.....

I went to the OB today and baby girl is doing well. I have gained 2 more pounds and that is what she wanted to see. Blood pressure is good, baby girl's heart rate is good, blood glucose test was passed. All is well with this little munchkin! Now, if only we could figure out what we want to call her! I hope we figure it out sooner rather than later! Mum told me yesterday "people may want to embroider the baby's name on her gift". Well, they will have to wait until we know what we are going to name her!!!
