Fashionably Late

Baby Wolfe's due date has come and gone and Mommy and Daddy are growing more and more anxious with each passing day! Yesterday we had a biophysical profile done (ultrasound and stress test) to see how baby was doing followed by a doctor's visit. Both appointments went great and baby is doing just fine! Not much progress has been made since our last appointment and our doctor recommended that an induction date be set. We will be going into the hospital tomorrow evening to start the process. We are so excited that we will be meeting our little girl by the end of this week!!! We are looking forward to letting our family and friends know once she makes her grand entrance!

39 weeks, 5 days..but who's counting?

We just got back from our 39 week doctors appointment and I am FINALLY 1 cm dilated! Not much, but at least we are moving in the right direction! I am also 75% effaced, which is great since last week I was nothing! My doctor also stripped my membranes in hopes to speed things along. This will help increase my chances of going into labor on my own. I go back to the doctors on Monday for an ultrasound and to see how things are progressing (that's if I don't go into labor before then!). Any predictions on when baby will arrive?

Patiently waiting for Baby Wolfe....

Work Baby Shower!

On April 1st my amazing coworkers threw a wonderful surprise baby shower! They turned the college's student lounge into a beautiful shower setting! I was showered with a whole lot of love and sweet baby gifts! I work with some truly amazing people!

SURPRISE!

Tick-Tock

With only a week and a half until my due date, we are definitely playing the waiting game! Each day brings even more excitement and anticipation! Last weeks doctors appointment went great! We learned that my fluid level is down (YAY!) and baby Wolfe flipped back into the proper position (double YAY)! Everything seems to be back on track! For the most part I have been feeling great! I'm still working, which definitely takes its toll, but I still have good energy throughout the day. My last official day of work will be May 13th, but hopefully she will decide to meet us before then! :-) Sleeping at night is a bit of a challenge, between getting up to potty every hour (so it seems!) to being too excited to sleep! I think Jimmy and I are both struggling to get in a full nights rest, but like MomMom Ball says, its good practice for when she comes!

Our next doctors appointment is this Friday and we hope to have another great visit! We will certainly keep you posted as we patiently wait for baby wolfe....

Maternity Photo Shoot!

Kristin did an amazing job for my 9 month maternity photos! I never thought I would be the one to get maternity pictures taken (especially in the 9th and biggest month!), but Kristin made it so easy and comfortable that I couldn't resist! Even Daddy got in on some of the photo action! We now have some great photos to look back on! Thank you, Aunt Kristin!

9 Months Preggo!

Hello 9th and final month!!!! Lot's has been going on in the past few weeks in preparation for our little girls arrival! We have attended TONS of classes (childbirth, breastfeeding, and at home with baby) and toured the maternity section of the hospital. Jimmy has been busy tackling last minute home projects and I have been nesting like crazy! The excitement of Baby Wolfe's arrival builds more and more with every passing day!


At my 34 week appointment, I was diagnosed with Polyhydraminos, which basically means I have an abnormal amount of amniotic fluid (high amount). Because of this, I now see a Perinatologist in addition to my regular OB. Each week I will be getting a biophysical profile (in-depth ultra sound and stress test) and my fluid levels will be watched closely. One in a hundred pregnant women are diagnosed with Polyhydraminos. Of those women, 60% fall into the "unknown" category, which means, there is no clear indication/reason as to why there is an increased amount of fluid. The Perinatologist concluded that I am one of those women. The biophysical profile and stress test showed that Baby Wolfe is healthy and right on track! The doctor had nothing but good things to say about our little one! Interestingly enough, my sister Kristin received the same diagnosis during her pregnancy. All in all both doctors are not overly concerned with things and just want to watch me a little closer before our peanuts arrival!


Today was our 36 week appointment and we had some positive news about the fluid level. My levels seem to be down (YAY!) but they want to continue to watch me because they were unable to get an accurate reading on the fluid. Our little one also seems to have her own agenda because she decided to do a flip on us and is now breech (head up by my ribs and butt down in my pelvic area). She had been head down for a while, but wanted to make things just a little tricky for us! We still have some time so hopefully she will decide to flip back into the correct position! Like my mom said, she has a gymnast's genes so of course she would be doing flips!

Patiently Waiting for Baby Wolfe....

We had our 34 week appointment today and everything went great! We got an ultrasound done to see how big our little girl was getting! She is weighing in at 5 pounds 6 oz., which is right on target! We also got some amazing pictures of her face, especially her chubby little cheeks! Enjoy! (foot) Patiently Waiting for Baby Wolfe...
