We were SO excited for Hunter's furniture to finally arrive. We purchased it on May 17th so the wait seemed to be forever!

4D Ultrasound Pictures - August 6th

Here are some of the still shots of the 4D. After our ultrasound we saw Dr. Pohl for our regular visit. What was amazing is the during the ultrasound Hunter was transverse or sideways in my belly. Between the ultrasound and when we saw Dr. Pohl (while we were in the waiting room) Hunter turned head down! We were excited to find out that news and Dr. Pohl was pleased that he was head down. Maybe the caffeine I had on the way to the ultrasound to try to get better pictures helped because in the waiting room Hunter was going crazy. I have had very little caffeine the whole pregnancy so he really reacted to it! My belly was measuring 36 weeks although I was not quite 33 weeks yet. My blood pressure was fine and Hunter's heartbeat sounded great according to Dr. Pohl. He said he still plans to induce between 37 and 39 weeks.

4D Ultrasound - August 6th

Here is the video from our 4D Ultrasound, it's pretty long and she switches back and forth from 2D to 4D a lot. Hunter had his hand in front of his face the whole time and she was trying to get better shots of him!

Working on the Nursery - August 2nd

I guess these aren't technically pictures of us working on the nursery but we were working on organizing and storing all of the "stuff" that we had received for Hunter. It was a daunting task that took many weekends but we are so grateful to have wonderful friends and family who have given us all of the things we need to welcome a new baby!

32 Weeks - August 1st!

31 Weeks - July 25th!

We forgot to actually take pictures on July 25th but here is one from July 28th for my 31 week picture.

Growth Scan - July 23rd

We had our growth scan on July 23rd. I was just shy of 31 weeks and they were estimating that Hunter is about 2 weeks ahead and weighing 4 lbs, 4 ounces. This would be the 72nd percentile. When Dr. Pohl took my belly measurement it was at 35. He decided we will do another growth scan in 3 to 4 weeks and said he plans to induce between 37 and 38 1/2 weeks.

30 Weeks - July 18th!

Here is a picture of me at 30 weeks.

Doctor's Update - July 17th

We saw Dr. Pohl on July 17th. The baby's heartbeat was great and my measurement was starting to even out. I was almost 30 weeks and still measuring 32 weeks. Even though it seemed that things were starting to even out Dr. Pohl still wanted to schedule a growth scan (ultrasound) to see how big the baby actually is. We scheduled the growth scan for July 23rd.

Jackson, Reece & Scott Baby Shower

Jackson, Reece & Scott threw me a baby shower on July 10th at Chrissie's house. I included all of the pictures but this is just a warning that there are a LOT of me just opening gifts so they can get pretty repetitive!

28 Weeks - July 4th!

On July 4th Lisa turned 28 weeks! Here's a picture in front of the house showing off her belly!!

Doctor's Updates - June 16th and June 23rd

I went to see Dr. Pohl on June 16th and June 23rd for blood pressure checks. Both times he just looked at my readings that I had been doing at home and said we were going to continue to wait and monitor before taking any action. Me and Brian went in on July 1st for a regular appointment. I was almost 28 weeks but measuring 32 weeks so still measuring ahead. Everything else looked good so Dr. Pohl just said we will continue to monitor and see what happens.

24 Weeks (or 6 months to normal people!)

June 6th marked 24 weeks so Brian took some pictures of my belly. We had our last doctors appointment on June 4th a couple of days earlier. Hunter's heartbeat was very strong and Dr. Pohl was happy with that. But, I am only 24 weeks and was measuring 28 weeks plus my blood pressure is up. So, we go back to the doctor on June 16th to have my blood pressure checked again and see what Dr. Pohl says. I've decided this most likely means I'll be having the baby more towards the beginning of September than the end of September because I know Dr. Pohl doesn't mess around with blood pressure and will likely induce if it stays high.

Go Braves!

May 24th - Lisa surprised me for my birthday and took the whole family (except our OKC fam ;) to the Braves game! What a great day and a great game!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Brian sent me beautiful tulips on the Friday before Mother's Day. The card was so sweet and said they were from Daddy and Hunter! Unfortunately, I left them at work over the weekend forgetting that the air goes off in our building and by the time I returned on Monday they were mostly dead :( I did manage to get a couple of pictures but they look so sad because these pictures weren't taken until Monday after the flowers had a bad weekend.
