36 week check up!!

36 week update- We visited Dr. Sam yesterday - I am 2 centimeters dilated and my cervix has thinned 20%. I amost fell off the table when he told me that... I truly wasn't expecting anything- he did say I could be at 2 centimeter dilated for a while, so that calmed me - I think I was just a little nervous because Brian is out of town in Vegas enjoying a last little hurrah before Lil Schmidt arrives! He will be returning Monday. :) Dr. Sam also said Lil Schmidt is head-down and in position and is about 6 pounds and some change and thinks Lil Schmidt will be some where in the 7 pound range by D-Day. Lil Schmidt's heart was racing at 139. All in all - I am very excited that everything is on as scheduled! :) Our next appointment is next Tuesday, we will keep you posted!

If you havn't already don't forget to vote if Lil Schmidt is a Boy or a Girl!
Love and hugs!!

Gift galore!!

My office through me a lovely baby shower brunch -fill with yummy food, fun decorations and gifts galore! Lil Schmidt and I thank you for your thoughtfulness -we will have so much fun putting everything in its place! We can't wait to show Daddy all the goodies when he gets back in town!!

5 weeks to go...

Yesterday I visited Dr. Sam - he said everything in right on track. Lil Schmidt's heart rate was at 153 & I am measuring 35 1/2 weeks. Here is a picture of Lil Schmidt growing. We will talk again next week after the next Dr. visit Thursday the 26th.

Daddy's Shower!!

Thursday Brian's work gave him a "Daddy's Shower" I took the day off to visit every one at his office and show off my growing belly. We all had lunch and played baby shower games (which Brian was very good at) Brian opened gifts and we had cake. Inkjet showered Brian with great goodies...diapers, baby wipes, fun little outfits, blankies, and much more including Brian's favorite VODKA!! (Imperia) :)

New Kitchen... :)

Here are before and after pictures of our new kitchen -a new sink... new faucet, and new counter top and we extended our island to have a breakfast bar.

Lil' Schmidt's first party!!

Saturday my dear friends Toni, Courtney, Melissa, and Stephanie through a beautiful shower where we celebrated with friends and family. Lil Schmidt got tons gifts!

Lil’s Schmidt says -Thank you for the gifts that I will soon see. Mommy says they are all really great and were picked out just for me. Mommy is sending this thanks because I have yet to arrive and even when I do, I won’t be able to type till I’m at least five. Thank you from me, mommy and daddy!!
