2 Weeks Left!

This is the car seat that we got from a shower. A group of family and friends went together to get the car seat, stroller and high chair. We have put the base to the car seat in my car now, wow was that fun! This is a picture of me tonight. The due date is 2 weeks from yesterday. I am getting very anxious to see this little person. We go again on Friday for an ultrasound to see how big the baby is. I am still measuring big so they want to get an estimate. I am going to the doctor on a weekly basis now. I went on Friday and everything was still fine. The heart rate was 154 and I have only gained 19 pounds. So I am very excited for Friday's ultrasound to see how big the baby is.

Update

I am now 36 weeks and it is hard to believe that my due date is less than a month away! I had a baby shower at my mom's house on 2/28 that was given by Aunt Lynn and Grandma Debbie. The baby got spoiled!

Katie Flanagan and her new addition!

I had another shower on March 2 at Grandma Wykert's, given by the Aunts. I don't have any pictures from that one because I forgot my camera. But I will get some.

Last Tuesday my mom and Lynn met me in Burlington after work and we went shopping. I used some of the gift cards that I had received and got the things that I still wanted to have before the baby comes. I got a bathtub, changing pad, activity mat, and bouncer seat. We had a lot of fun!

I also had an appointment yesterday. Nothing exciting except that I had to sit and wait about an hour and a half for the doctor. But I had actually lost a pound, but the doctor said that it was ok. I am also measuring right on now. The baby didn't want the doctor to hear its heartbeat, it kept moving around. But she finally found it and the rate was 151. The baby has started to drop a little but is still very active.
