36 Week Appointment

I had my 36 week appointment this morning and was super excited that I was in the drs office after 5 minutes of waiting...that is SO not the norm. Don't get me wrong, they are always pretty quick, but today was super quick!!!

I had called yesterday because I wasn't feeling much movement and wanted to make sure that I didn't need to be worried, but by the time I got to the appt, movement was back to normal!

I asked her about leaking fluids...she checked...and my "bag of fluids is still in tact".

The baby's heartbeat was in the 140s.

My belly was measuring 34 weeks which is about 2 1/2 weeks behind which calls for an ultrasound to make sure everything is progressing properly. She did say that since I am so tall, there is probably nothing to worry about because there is plenty of room for him in there....I figure if she were really concerned, she wouldn't wait until next week to do it, so I am excited to get to see the little man one more time!

The outside of my cervix is open but the inside is closed...which means "absolutely nothing, the baby could come tonight or it could be 6 more weeks".

My next appt is on April 22nd at 9:30am with an ultrasound to check on the baby! Luckily, Josh will be back in town in time for that appointment. Keep your fingers crossed that we make it to that appointment!!!!

Easter Pictures

Hunter had a great Easter. He participated in 2 Easter Egg Hunts...one was in our neighborhood and had 22 kids participating in 8 years! It was so fun! He won a prize for getting the second most eggs in his age group! He got 22 eggs! The second was for Schlumberger Spouses Association. Here are some pictures from the two hunts:

LOOK! I got an egg!!!

"Counting" his eggs like the big kids in the neighborhood!












Painting Eggs with Mommy! (I was REALLY impressed that he sat there for so long!)




















POP IT! Hunter had so much fun playing with the gigantic balloons! He kept screaming "Pop it!" and took many balloons to Pa Pa Mike !













Look at what the Easter Bunny brought:












SO excited about his present from Grandmama and Pa Pa Mike:

Cupcake Bites

One of my favorite blogs is bakerella.com It is an awesome blog with MANY great recipes and super creative ideas! I decided to give one of her recipes a try today and made cupcake bites! SO FUN! My pictures really don't do them justice....but they turned out super cute!

Easter Cookies

I baked/decorated these cookies for Hunter's friends at day care! Not bad for my first attempt at really decorating cookies!!!

Professional Pictures

We took Hunter to Sears today to have his 2 year professional pictures made. While we were there, I had some maternity photos taken as well! We also went to visit the Easter Bunny in the mall....enjoy!

He slept at the door...again!

Last night was night three of sleeping next to the door. I did manage to get a picture of it this morning. As you can tell he is actually touching the door, so I had to move him a little when I opened it:

2 Nights of Good Sleep

I am a much stronger person when Josh is in town! Instead of going in to get Hunter when he is screaming "MOMMY" at the top of his lungs, I let him cry it out and 2 nights in a row, he has slept all night!!! YAY!!!! The title said "good sleep" and as much as I would like to think he is getting that, I am not sure how good it can be with him curled up in a ball on the floor next to the door. I wish I could get a picture of him with his pillow from Grandma, but if I open the door to take a picture, I am positive we will have to start the process over! Maybe tonight I will take a picture of the monitor! Wish us luck with night 3 and maybe he will even end up in the bed this time!!!
