Week 37

I'm exactly 37 weeks pregnant today! Some websites say that I'm full term (although some say full term is considered 38). Either way, if Baby Jessica decided to make an early appearance, I'm sure she'd be fine! I have to say though, I hope she doesn't come too early! Mommy is still wrapping things up at work. I have resigned from my part-time position, and am documenting all my duties and processes, but won't begin training my replacement until July 2nd!!! Talk about cutting it close! (Trying not to stress about it either, but it's hard!)

Here's the bump pic that was taken today! I can't wait to meet you Baby Jessica!!!!

Week 36

It's down to the wire now! Had another doctor's appointment today, and Miss Jessica is measuring great and we are looking good! I now start my WEEKLY doctor visits, so it won't be long now. I'm very excited to meet my new little precious girl!!!!

Jessica is now starting to act like her Big Sister Megan and is getting the hiccups quite frequently. Megan started with them much earlier, but Jessica is catching up, as she seems to have them a lot....when I eat, and when I don't. I also have to say that Jessica seems to be more active - but I think that also might be because my uterus is more 'flexible' this time around, so I see much more movement (and feel much more!). This morning, while I was laying on the couch, an arm (or maybe a leg) just pushed right out from the top and I watched as she slid down my belly....it was wild!

David and I are continuing to get settled into the new house, and we are slowly getting Jessica's room ready. The bassinet is at least up - so for right now that is the most important, so she'll have a place to sleep - and since she'll be spending the first couple months in our room, getting her room "ready" is not a pressing issue.

I hope that everyone is planning on a visit here for Baby Jessica! I am sure that I'll be needing the help, so please let me know if you hope to visit so we can make plans!

Hugs and Kisses everyone!

Weeks 34-35

Time is flying now! Only a little over four weeks left until Baby J makes her appearance - or at least when she is scheduled to appear!

The Rivera's, Sackett's, and Gega went to Virginia Beach (Sandbridge) last week and we all had a great time. Towards the end of the trip, I was having very bad Braxton-Hicks and actually thought that maybe Baby J would come out at the beach! I think that I was just a little dehydrated and they passed once I drank a lot of water. These were by far the worst ones I've had with Jessica. It was a reminder of just how much this is going to hurt!!!! EEKS!!!! Made me a little nervous!

Hoping to get my "bump" picture done this week! But, here is a pic from the beach of the belly!

Lots of love everyone!

Week 33

My doctor's appointment on Tuesday went very well - aside from it only being a 5 minute belly check with a 45 minute wait!

Doctor said that I was measuring perfectly, so I'm hoping that means my chances of that ten pound baby have decreased a little. :) I asked the doctor about Baby Jessica hurting me with her kicks, jabs, and punches (more so than I remember having with Megan) and he said that with second babies (and subsequent babies) your uterus becomes more sensitive. He said I'd also notice this when I'm breastfeeding and my uterus is contracting. Gee....something to look forward to. *sigh*

We are off to the beach next week, so it looks like there won't be a beach baby born, which is GOOD NEWS (although...I guess if she wants to come, she'll come!). Doctor doesn't need to see me back for 3 weeks (woo hoo), and then I'll be paying them a visit weekly until Jessica is born! Exciting times!

Hugs and Kisses everyone!
