37 Week Check

I just got back from the OB and I am dilated to 2 and 70% effaced. My midwife is thinking that because I was dilated to 3 and 70% effaced with Mason for over 2 weeks, she does not think that I will go early but did say that anything can happen! They ended up scheduling my induction for May 29th at 6:30am . Kinda early in the am if you ask me (and especially Andy), but apparently they like to do it the very first thing in the morning.
So it looks like we will meet baby Kailee on the 29th unless she decides to come earlier.

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!

We were still having a hard time deciding on the spelling until everyone spelled our baby's name KAILEE on their cards and then ...I opened her new taggie and well it says it all...(thanks to my mother-in-law Audrey!!) It was pretty unanimous! KAILEE Grace it is!!
PS-Andy even wrote it down on paper today and asked our waitress at Mongolian BBQ how to pronounce it and she pronounced it correctly! Hooray ;)

Showered in PINK!!




A HUGE thanks to Jenni, Sara, Krysta and Laura for throwing me an awesome PINK party last night! They thought of every little detail (which is not surprising, they are so creative and crafty!!) Cute decorations, favors, phenomenal desserts, punch and beautiful flowers.
I feel so blessed! Thank you, thank you, thank you I had such a great time!!

Another OB visit

I went for my 36 week check today. I did not gain any weight this week (weird-guess I can keep on my double cheeseburger routine) and I am now only measuring a half of a week smaller (instead of 2 weeks like last week). My blood work came back perfect and the 24 hour urinalysis came back OK. I still have trace amounts of protein in my urine but it is not anything they are worried about! My BP was up a bit from what it is normally, but I also had Mason with me and he was cranky and ready for a nap!
Baby sounds good her heart rate was 135-140 bpm. I was really hoping that they were going to tell me that she should be here any day, but no such luck!! They did not even check to see if I was dilated today, bummer. I think I was being overly optimistic.
Looks like I still have 23 days left....

36 Weeks

23 more days....
I go for another OB appointment tomorrow and I am really praying that it is smoother sailing than last week!
PS-who ever thought it would be a good idea to make a maternity shirt with horizontal stripes?? Not a good plan!

A Day Out with Thomas the Tank Engine!!




This morning we headed out to Greenfield Village to see Thomas the Tank Engine!! Our friends and neighbors John and Carrie let us tag along with them since they have a membership (thanks guys)! Mason had been waiting for this day for a long time! We first rode the Carousel and had a blast, I don't think we could have wiped the smile off of his face. We then headed to the activity tent where he patiently waited in line to get a tattoo of Thomas on his arm. He was so funny holding SO still to get it done. We did some other little activities that the park had which were fun (riding cars, coloring, watching the "spinning train", got an ice cream, etc) and then finally around 1:30pm we were able to jump in line and watch for Thomas to pull up. He was so excited and just kept telling Andy and I how cool it was! It was so cute to watch him get so excited.
Our train ride lasted about 20 minutes, he loved every minute of it!! It was so special to be able to do this with him as he is going to have to be sharing the attention with his little sister very soon!
