My Arrival is Getting Closer

We are actually counting down the days until Allyson arrives. Today I went to the doctor for my 34 week check-up and actually measured at being 35 weeks. Therefore, we are thinking that Miss Ally is going to arrive before the 12th. Everything thing at the doctor was good! Her heartbeat is still holding strong at 150. The doctor was pleased with everything. We begin our every week visits now. He is actually going to check everything next week and continue to check her progress from that point forward. He said that if the belly keeps growing at this pace, then at 37 weeks (two weeks from now) we would do an ultrasound to see her actual size and go from there. Therefore, we think we have two more full weeks and then at that point she could arrive at any time.

As for mommy, well, I have been very swollen in the hands and they have been going numb at night, so he wants me to start wearing a brace when I sleep. Hopefully, that will help a bit. We are getting very anxious, but yet a little nervous as becoming first time parents is getting closer. Her room is all ready and we are having two showers this week. We still continue to spoil her already.

You'll both do just fine. I can tell by the look in Wes's eyes that he can hardly wait for baby Ally to arrive.

Mommy - love your hubby hard because he'll get completely retarded after the baby is born (been there - done that).

Wes - love mommy even harder because she just gave you the best year of her life.

Ally will be a blessing to both of you and she couldn't have a finer set of parents!
