Had our 39 Week appointment yesterday! Nothing too crazy - got to listen to our Lil G's heartbeat - 142bpm and got my belly measured - which is now right on track...measured in at 39 weeks!
I was definitely curious to know if any 'progress' had been made since our 38 week apt (i.e. dilation/effacement), but wasn't going to volunteer being 'checked' again! Dr. Fernbach said everything looked good, and that if he didn't see us before our appointment next week (i.e. at the hospital) that he would do another internal check to see how we are progressing!
I'm just doing my best to keep this little one hibernating til Jenni gets here (per her request). She'll get in around 2pm on Monday so we'll see! Mom and Dad are coming in late tonight...I'm hoping they are already on the road...I'm worried about them driving so late, esp. after Mom worked all day!
Tomorrow we are doing Thanksgiving Dinner at George's parents - I guess his mom has a 'backup plan' for the Turkey in case we end up going into labor! I was talking to his sister, Leni, last night and she was cracking herself up with how funny it would be if my 'water' broke while we were having our dinner ~ yeah...not so funny for me ~ I'd be mortified! But, we are hoping to be able to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving dinner and are especially Thankful that we've had a healthy pregnancy and can't wait to meet our 'Lil G' - just hopefully - after Thanksgiving! Oh and we also want to be there when George's Cousin and Husband, Maria and Kyle (future Greek Godparents of 'Lil G') announce what their little one is - they just found out on Monday, so we definitely don't want to miss that announcement!
We are truly blessed and have SO MUCH to be THANKFUL for! We'll keep you posted if we make it to Week 40 - or if 'Lil G' decides to show up a little early :D!!!

Sleep and Dreams...still tired...
This weekend was a weekend - full of crazy sleep and dreams, which ultimately left me feeling well...not so rested.
We spent the weekend trying to clean and organize things a bit more before the arrival of our 'Lil G' - so Saturday we had stripped the bed, flipped the mattress, washed the pillows, remade the bed...but the pillows weren't quite dry yet...so went to bed using the pillows that are normally in our pillow shams...and very full, stiff pillows. So, Sunday morning, I woke up feeling like I'd been beat in my sleep - maybe my 'pregnancy induced' snoring is finally getting to my dear husband and he's 'beating' me in his and my sleep - ok...not really...I'm blaming it on the stupid pillows!
So, after church I was absolutely exhausted and decided to lay down and take a nap. It took me a while to finally get comfortable and fall asleep, but I finally did...and proceeded to dream that George and I were doing a bike ride, WITH LOTS of HILLS, and I was nervous going down the hills that my brakes were going to give out (I think my brakes really do need to be fixed on my bike...), so I was cautiously applying my front brake as needed :). Then at one point we came to stairs and I figured it best not to try and ride down them, so I picked up my bike and proceeded to run down them w/ my Belly and all :D! I had all these people saying to me that they couldn't believe I was doing the ride and I was like - 'Oh I've got another week or so before the baby come, no worries :D' - Ha ha! Thankfully, my mom called around 3ish and so I didn't 'finish' the bike ride - I probably would have woken up even more sore :D
Last night - after finally falling asleep - I proceed to dream that I read all the baby books I had, which in the dream was a TON more than I actually have! So, I would read one put it away, and go onto the next one and read it! I woke up at what I thought was 6:30, and was just purely exhausted, feeling like I hadn't been asleep - that I'd actually be reading that entire time, thankfully my eyes saw the numbers wrong and it was 5:30, so I was able to go back to sleep for another 1.5hrs! Craziness and I couldn't even tell you what I 'learned/read' in the books - ha!
Oh - and I'm not the only one having crazy dreams! One of my best friends from my ERAU days - Mariann - texted me early Sunday morning to tell me that she had dreamt that we were getting manicures together and I went into labor :) ha ha! I do want to go get a pedicure before 'Lil G' arrives, so let's hope that her dream isn't a 'sign' :D
Anyway...just thought I'd jot down the crazy dreams...I'm hoping that I can get a restful sleep tonight. All this dreaming has left me exhausted - but I hear that, along with getting up to go to the restroom every few hours is just our body's way of preparing us to get up with that little one every few hours after s/he arrives! I'd just like to be a little more rested before s/he arrives :)
So exciting! 1 week and 1 day from tomorrow til our 'official' due date! We should have done a 'pool' on when s/he would arrive :) and if 'Lil G' was a girl or a boy...oh well! I am gonna miss being pregnant - it's definitely been a fun experience! But, I can't wait to meet our 'Lil G' - the reality that we'll be holding our little baby boy/girl soon still hasn't sunk in!!! I'm not sure it actually will until I'm holding him/her in my arms!

Old Wives Tales...mostly predict GIRL!
I had an eye doctor's apt. on Monday - need to get some new contacts ordered before 'Lil G' arrives :) So, while there I of course was getting asked the normal pregnancy questions of: "When are you due?" and "Do you know what you are having?", etc. :)
So while in with the Doctor - he asked me if we knew what we were having and I of course said, 'No, we are going the Surprise route!"! So, then he starts to tell me about this study that he read where you can 'predict' the gender of babies by how the mother's tears break up. So, he asked if I wanted him to give it a shot :) I said sure, why not, it's all in good fun! So, he dapped my lower eye lid with something to get it to tear up...and then watched thru his scope to see how fast my tears 'broke' up (at least that's how I understood it). The study said if the mother's tears broke up in under 6 seconds, she was having a Girl and if they broke up after 10 seconds, she was having a Boy!
Mine broke up in 2 seconds...so based on this 'study'...we are having a GIRL! :) Ha ha! So, we'll see - I told him I'd let him know!
Another 'wives tale' that we played with was the Ring test - where you take a ring - I used my wedding ring and tied it to a piece of hair. Then you hang it over your wrist area, without letting it touch. The ring then begins to move - on its own - which is crazy! Based on the movement of the ring you can 'predict' if it is a girl, boy, and how many children you'll have (to do multiple kids you touch it to your wrist in between motions) - here's the breakdown:
Circle - it's a GIRL
Parallel with Forearm - it's a BOY
Perpendicular to Forearm - you are done having kids...
So...we of course had to try this (I had lots of my girlfriends do it :D) and based off that...it says...that We (George and I) will have three kids (had always planned for 4 - but we'll see...maybe we'll adopt one :D)...but of the three we will have it will be: Girl, Boy, Girl! So, another 'wives tale' we'll have to 'verify' :D
We of course have had various people look at me and the 'way I am carrying the baby' and tell me - "Oh it's a Girl!" or "Oh, it's a Boy!" or another one I heard recently was that If the mother is glowing - she's having a 'Boy' but if she's looked pretty rough through her pregnancy - she's having a 'Girl - b/c the girl steals all her beauty'. Ha - so...all those people that have told me I'm having a Girl - obviously thought I wasn't looking so great :P! Got a good laugh out of that one!
Regardless of what we are having - we will love this little one to pieces :) I think we both definitely have a little Girl on the brain...me mainly because I've slipped a few times and referred to 'Lil G' as 'She' - and probably because so many people have said 'Girl'. So lately I've been trying to prepare my brain that we could very well have a 'Boy' :) Ha ha! Either way - we will be surprised and can't wait to know and to hold 'Lil G'
Only 2 weeks - plus or minus a few days before we are holding our own little one in our arms!!!

38 weeks...will we make it to weeks 39 and 40?
So yesterday - was our 38 week mark and we had our weekly check up with Dr. Fernbach. I was dreading the appointment, mostly because I had heard this weekend that it was painful, but was also anxious to know if we had an progression towards the arrival of 'Lil G'!
Dr. Fernbach measured my belly again (after saying "Oh that's a nice round belly :D") and we are now measuring at 38 weeks (even though he measured 39 last week), so it truly is subjective. We also got to hear "Lil G's" heartbeat again, which always puts the biggest grin on my face :D and it was about 139, so a little slower than normal, but that is to be expected since s/he isn't moving around quite as much. Then came the internal exam :P - and yes - OUCH it did hurt, but it was nice to hear that we are over 80% effaced and 1cm dilated. Dr. Fernbach, seemed pleased and said "Any day/time now!" - ha ha which I think was a 'wake up call' for George and I. He told us he'd see us next week, if not before then at the hospital!!! HOLY SMOKES...so we could very well have a little one in our arms before Thanksgiving - we surely have so much to be Thankful for!! Although, I don't think Mom and Jenni would be too happy to miss his/her arrival!
So...for now we are schedule for next Tuesday for our 39week apt., but also made sure we moved the pack n' play into our room and got our bags packed, just in case we end up coming home with a little one sooner than we thought! I have heard of people going for weeks being dilated at 1 and 2 cm - so we'll see :)
We enjoyed the rest of the day/evening - we got to go and FINALLY meet Quinn Madison - our friend's Ryan and Barb's new little girl - she is absolutely precious and Big brother Rowan loves her so much! Here's a few pictures of the growing family :)
From Ryan and Barb's we headed over to see our nephew/Godson, Gregory, perform in his first band recital. They did such a great job, especially for only a few months of practice! Here's a picture of him :)

37 Weeks...and Kitchen Remodel Progression :)
Okay - so 37 weeks has almost come and gone! I can't believe we are getting so close! Esp. knowing that 'Lil G' is now full term and could basically come at any time! :D
This week has been an exciting one, as our friends Ryan and Barb welcomed a little girl, Quinn Madison, into their family :D She was born on the 9th - just two days after her due date! Weighing in at 9lbs 1oz - I told Barb, I'm not sure how she fit b/c Barb is so tiny! She basically looked like she had a basketball under her shirt! We are hoping to go and meet her tomorrow, we would have gone sooner, but Ryan and Barb were exhausted and got to head home the following day, so we decided to let them get settled at home - but we can't wait to meet her!!!
Also heading home on Weds. - just one and a half weeks after their delivery - was Dela and Mike with their twin boys Miles and Jack :) Which is so exciting! Not sure if you remember or not, but Dela's 'official' due date was 1 week after me. So her boys were born at 34 weeks and 6 days - after Dela managed to keep them hibernating an extra 6 weeks - which is just incredible :)!!! I can't wait to meet these little guys and hold them too...but it'll likely be this spring before that happens :(
As for us and 'Lil G' we are still doing great :) No real changes...that we know of. I've started to have a little more pelvic pain/pressure, cramps (which I'm told are like 'false labor'), and random Braxton Hicks Contractions (also 'false labor' but painless). So - I've read and been told - all of which is normal and is basically my body preparing for the BIG Event!!!
Other exciting news on the home front is my Beautiful new Kitchen :) I am amazed by the transformation! I'll have to post a final final picture once all the dishes get put away, etc. but here are some shots of the Before and After! George and his Dad (who MADE our cabinets and Counter top) did an Incredible Job!!!

I'm sure I've probably missed someone or something that someone did...and if so...I'm sorry - we'll blame it on preggo brain...but we seriously can't Thank everyone enough for all your help and in the making of our new kitchen and in making it happen so quickly! :) Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!!

36 Weeks...
Wow - I can't believe that we are at 36 weeks already! We had our weekly check up yesterday and all is good :) at 38 weeks, we'll get checked to see if there is any effacement/dilation beginning. I have started to have a few cramps (which I've been told are Braxton Hicks Contractions), but definitely nothing regular, so I think my body is just practicing for 'Lil G's' arrival!! S/he has definitely been really active these past few weeks - LOVE IT!
This past weekend was an exciting one :)
Friday - GG and I picked up the rest of our baby furniture and he finished grouting the floor. :)
Here's a picture of GG hard at work!
Saturday - Yue came over to help me finish getting the rest of the quote up and George and his Dad carried up the rest of the furniture (tall dresser and the chair/ottoman) - so exciting :)
GG and I in front of finished quote and you can see the chair/ottoman :)
Yue and I :) Thanks so much Yue!
Sunday - I got a text from Dela first thing in the morning that her water had broke and they were on their way to Mission Memorial in Asheville. I got to talk to her around noon and she was 8cm dialated, I think the boys were born around 1:30ish (or just after I got off the phone with her b/c a nurse was coming in to check her), I got the text that they had arrived while I was out to lunch with the girls (Tracie, Binh, Iris, and Rachelle) at 56 West. :) So excited for her and Mike, oh and I love the boys' names - Jack and Miles! (I did just get pictures...but I'm waiting for Dela to post some first...they are seriously the cutest things ever!) I can't wait to hold them...it's breaking my heart I have to wait months...
Sunday afternoon we met with Kimberly Althausen of http://www.kimberlyalthausen.com/ - to take some maternity pictures :). Here's a sneak peek of them! She did a great job and we can't wait to see the rest! It was a bit chilly, but well worth it! Thanks so much Kim!
Me, 'Lil G', and George
Holding Hands and 'Lil G'
Our gift :D
Kim is also going to take "Lil G's" newborn pictures for us :) We can't wait for those!
We finished the weekend off with handing out candy for Halloween :)!
I still need to blog about the Kitchen Remodel, but maybe I'll wait till the very end to post 'Before' and 'After' Pictures! I am very excited though b/c the cabinets are going in today :) and it looks great soo far! Here's a sneak peek at the cabinet install!
As for other happenings this week - not a whole lot...I did pack "Lil G's" bag for the hospital :) we have both our boy and girl outfits ready to bring him/her home in :D! We also got the car seat installed in the car and checked at our local fire dept. this morning :) Unfortunately, our 'convertible' car seat won't fit rear facing in GG's truck, so we thought we'd have to buy another base for the carrier. Thankfully though, Yue has offered for us to use her other base (same car seat style), so we'll be good until 'Lil G' isn't in the carrier anymore. After that point, we'll have to take my car or push the front passenger seat up in the truck and I'll sit in the back with 'Lil G' :) So, we'll see...it definitely is weird to have that little car seat back there! Soon enough 'Lil G' will be back there too! :D We can't wait!!!
