Home Stretch
Hi everyone,
I've been really slacking on updates - sorry :). We had our ultrasound a week ago Friday, and baby is about 6 pounds, so he'll be about 8 at birth or so. He has a 'big head' according to the doctor. Suprise, my sister & I never could wear those one size fits all hats!! Haha. Anyhow, everything looked good.
They had just gotten a 3D ultrasound machine in & wanted to try it out on us, so we got a free 3D ultrasound!! It was so cool. I'm posting those pics on here. When they got a picture of his face, Jared turned to me and said, "oh my gosh it's your dad!!" - needless to say, many have agreed that the ultrasound, especially the first couple pics, look like Dana!! It's bizarre!
We go back to the doctor today. 3 weeks from tommorow is due date. As you can see on the countdown, we're down to 22 days - woohoo! I started my shots a week ago Saturday, and all has gone pretty well considering. My body didn't seem to have to 'adjust' to them like back when I first started shots & got so sick. I'm just really achey the Sunday after I take it, but that is normal & to be expected. So, I can't complain.
Just really ready for baby to get here! Not really sleeping well anymore and don't like asking for help, so I'm getting frustrated even though I shouldn't! Bending over, sitting, walking, it's all a task these days it seems - haha! Will be so glad when baby is here!
Jared's grandad Wes passed away last Tuesday. We were able to go down and see him the week before he passed away. And, Jared was able to make it down there for his last minutes of life. It's been really tough on Jared, especially since I know he was so excited to make Grandad a Great-Grandad in just a few weeks! But, he is not suffering anymore & is at peace. They are holding a memorial service for him in Mullen, NE on October 28th, so I am praying that everything works out so that Jared can head out there for that; I really want him to be able to be there. I would love to go, too, but needless to say me being 6 hours away from my doctor in the middle of 'nowhere' isn't recommended by the doctor right now :)!!
Well, I'll try to be better at updates from here on out I promise!! Who knows, maybe next update will be that baby is here - haha!!
Take care,
Emily
