june June 1, 2007: The girls at my work threw my a baby shower today! How sweet of them! It was potluck style and all the girls brought something! It was very yummy! Then they gave me a bunch of gifts for Kayley too! As a group they all chipped in and bought a pack-n-play! WOW! Also we were given a few really sweet outfits, a swaddler blanket, a book, and a TON of newborn diapers! Here is Part II of the Bumbo video from You Tube which I posted in the April section. (If you have not seen the first one go watch it first!)
June 7, 2007: Today was our 35 week 6 day appointment. I had my Group B Strep test done; we will get results at my next weeks visit. All is well with myself and Kayley. I have gained only a little bit so I am just over an 11 lb gain total. It just blows my mind to think that in just about a month Damian and I will have our precious bundle to snuggle!! WOW! We are making good progress in Kayley's nursery. We had the floor refinished and it is all painted. Now we are worknig on replacing all the moulding / casing around all the doors, windows, and the base board as well. We have all the wood and Damian is working hard along with Dad V's help to get it all up. We are also putting up a chair rail around her walls. June 14, 2007: At this weeks appointment, all is well again! The results from my Strep B test are negative so no extra antibiotics for me when labor starts. Phew. I also recieved a paper that tells me what to do when labor starts, who to call, and when. I am now considered "full term" (36 weeks 6 days), so if Kayley were to make her appearance at any time she'd be just fine. All is good with both of us; my belly is measuring a little bit behind, by about a week or so, but it is nothing to be concerned with. They also sent all my paperwork over to the hospital so if she does decide to come early we are all set. June 16, 2007: We took a Parenting Your Newborn class today through the Elliot Hospial. It was very interesting! We got to practice dressing, bathing, diapering, and holding a doll about the size of a newborn. We also watched a video about newborns. The class taught us what to expect during the first 6 weeks after she is born. June 21, 2007: My friend Kellee welcomed her beautiful daughter Ryleigh Lynn into the world yesterday! She was born at 10:22 AM via c-section. She was 20 1/2 inches long and 9 lbs 14 oz. Now we just need Kayley her so she can have a play-mate! We went to visith them at the hospital today and as I was holding Ryleigh, Kayley began to kick me! It was like she was jealous or trying to play! As soon as I handed Ryleigh over to my mom Kayley quieted down. What a silly girl!
June 24, 2007: My dad brought over the crib today! It is so beautiful! It is all set up in Kayley's room and everytime I walk by the door of her room I get this goofy grin on my face! You can see pictures of it in the nursery section. We also tried to set up her bureau, but low and behold it is damaged! I called Babies-R-Us right away and they agreed to order us an new one. It should arrive in 1 to 2 weeks! I sure hope it comes in soon since she could be here any time! June 29, 2007: I haven't updated about the past few appointments because there has been nothing new to report. All is well with both Kayley and myself! I have gained a total of 14 1/4 lbs which is fantastic! At todays appointment my blood pressure was a little high - 142/66, but nothing to worry about. Two different OBs at our practice has said that Kayley will not be very big at birth - somewhere around 7 1/2 lbs! That's just fine with me! Our next appointment will be the day before our due date so that is very exciting! They will check me to see what progress is being made, if any. I am hoping that Kayley can hold on for a bit since I really want to go to my friend Sheryl's wedding on 7/7/07!
