Counting down...

Yesterday we officially started out countdown to the arrival of Baby Girl Hall! As of yesterday, I am 31 weeks pregnant leaving only 9 short weeks left! Of course the doctor likes to remind me that I can go anytime 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after my original due date. Which is fine, except when I get to thinking that means I may only have 7 weeks left if she comes early or whew, 11 weeks left if she's late. Which if she takes after either side of the families she will be late :)

Currently the doctor says I'm looking great. My blood pressure is "excellent" (to quote him) and I'm progressing beautifully. We had a tiny scare earlier this week. I hadn't felt much movement on Sunday and going into Monday (compared to Saturday night) so I went to the OB on Monday to get checked out. I was placed on a fetal monitor and we could hear her heartbeat...actually very strong beat of 140-160 beats, so our concern lessened. However, we couldn't "find" her. The nurse moved the monitor around forever and finally after about 10 minutes we found her. The little booger had slipped over to my far left side. That's why I couldn't feel anything. So we stayed hooked up to the monitor for about 45 minutes all the while trying to get some movement out of her. Larry finally came over to my left side and talked to her. That's all it took was her Daddy's voice because she was up and moving then! She did a couple of big kicks and flips for us and the nurse was very pleased. Needless to say, we were very relieved.

We have finished painting her nursery and all of her furniture is up and waiting :) We are having a couple of baby showers over the next couple of months so we'll be more prepared after them. I just can't believe how time has flown by! I remember thinking "I've got plenty of time, I'm only 9 weeks" and now I've only got 9 weeks left! Amazing!

I've started on my every 2 weeks appointments (should have about 2 more) then I start my every week appointments. So more updates to come! Stick around!
