37 Weeks and Doctor Update!!!

I cannot believe that I am already 37 weeks into this pregnancy! I will be holding my little girl in no time!!  I cannot wait to meet her, hold her and love on her!! I am so excited to see what she looks like but most of all I cannot wait to see Brayden with her!!  I know he is going to just be amazed by her!!

I have been busy finishing up my to-do list and I plan on cleaning my entire house next week, that is if my body with allow me to.  I have been nesting for some time now so my house is completely organized but I just want to deep clean my house one last time before she arrives.  I have also been doing special things with Brayden before she arrives.  I am so excited about giving Brayden a little sister but a part of me will miss all our one on one time together.  I have been a stay at home mom since March of 2010 and it has been just Brayden and I together all day, everyday ever since.  I look forward to bringing Olivia into our lives and starting a whole new chapter. I cannot wait to see them love on each other, play together and interact with one another!

I had my last doctor's appointment this week before Olivia arrives.  I have an another appointment scheduled before her arrival but she said if I was doing ok I do not have to worry about coming in for that appointmen. My appointment went great.  My BP was great and I weigh 150 which is just two pounds different from my pregnancy with Brayden so I am very happy with that!  I still have some swelling but nothing to worry about.  I am measuring 35 weeks and I was almost 38 weeks at this appointment.  The doctor then went over everything that I needed to know before I arrive at the hospital.  We cannot believe that we are about to meet our baby girl!!! I hope to have one more blog update before she arrives!! We cannot wait to meet our baby girl!!!
