Full Term. 37 Weeks

What's up with Baby this week? 

37 Weeks 
FULL TERM!!!!!

Our little man is weighing in at a little over 6 1/3 Pounds 

and about 19inches long.

The size of A bunch of Swiss Chard.

If you haven't yet delivered, you've reached the calm before the storm. You're probably monitoring your body for those first Early Labor symptoms and wondering what you've forgotten. Your smooshed-up baby is weighing in at around 6.3 lbs and 19 inches (with boys somewhat heavier and longer than girls). As far as their internal organs go, your adorable poop and blood factory has reached "term" - a medical term that means your sweet little bun is birth-ready and labor is welcome and normal at this point. Despite being physically ready to land on planet Earth, your baby's immune system is quite weak and will continue to be that way for their first years of life.
 Thankfully, your breast milk (aka "boob medicine") protects your child via protective antibodies that are present in your breast milk.our due date is very close now, but doctors don't consider your baby "full term" until 39 weeks. Spending the next two weeks in the womb allows your baby's brain and lungs to fully mature. So if you're planning to have a repeat c-section, for example, your practitioner will schedule it for no earlier than 39 weeks unless there's a medical reason to intervene earlier.
 Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (about the size of a bunch of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz. See what your baby looks like this week.

37 Week Doctor appointment!

So i went in for my weekly appointment and was also hoping i would be a little farther long. 

My cervix is so high that it was really hard to tell how far along i was. Well once she got up in there she stripped my membranes in hopes that it would help with labor. After she checked me i was to a 3.5 and 65% thinned out just the same as last week. We are really hoping that little man will show his cute little face this Monday (Logan's Dad birthday) But who knows if that will happen. This mom is feeling pretty good but just really ready for my little boy to be here. I think the last few weeks of pregnancy are the worst cause you are so tired and i can never sleep at night. I'm going on three nights of no sleep. :( 

So hopefully the next update will be pictures of my little man!

Ash Wednesday.

Im sure i know what you are thinking...

Me, Chelby talking about Church...

Well lets go back a few weeks or so. Logan and i had started talking about getting the boys baptized in the Catholic Church. 

Logan grew up Catholic and was really committee to going. But like anyone he started to hate going to church and hate walking up early. But he still like to live by what he believed in and what he thought was right. 

 Each year he would drag me to Ash Wednesday just cause he still wanted to be committee but not fully committee. 

At the same time Logan and i were talking about getting our boys baptized, Logan parents were talking about the same thing. If you know the history Logan parents have guardianship over Logan's two cousin. 

One is 12 and the other is 6. So they asked us if we wanted to do it for the boys as well. 

I have always wanted to have some kinda or religion but i was never committee to really go. But having a husband and family who are committee i thought it was about time that i joined in. 

So the past two weekend we have gone to Church, and it has been amazing. Really. Just waking up each Sunday knowing that we are going to Church kinda gets me excited. Both times what they have talked about has really hit home for me. It really got me thinking about my life and where i want to go with it. It got me thinking about my family and how i want to raise my kids and how i want to have a relationship with my husband. 

I know i have only gone twice but i have a feeling that it will be something great, not only for me but for my kids as well. 

So with that being said we are excited to start thinking about getting the boys baptized. We have to think of who will be the godparents and everything that needs to go into that. 

Do i want the boys to have the same godparents or do we want them different. My heart is kinda torn cause the godparents has to also be baptized as Catholic and none of my family is Catholic. So that just leaves us with Logan family. 

Nothing wrong with that but i still would like to have my family be apart of it. Also Logan wants his brother to be the kids godparent BUT barb has already asked Chad to be the god parent to Grace (Their Cousin) So i don't want to go with Chad just because he will already be a godparent to someone. Maybe i'm over thinking it and making it harder then i should. But i want to make sure whoever we pick will be someone great and i know would be wonderful to me kids! 

Also today is the start of Ash Wednesday. 

As a family we are giving up for 40 days Fast Food and Caffeine.

Bring on the headache and having to cook real meals. :) 

March

I cant believe that it is already March..

March means so much more then an other month.

March means i new life is going to be born.

March means i get to kiss my sweet boys face and get to hear his sweet little voice.

March means i will start getting less sleep and more bags under my eyes.

March means Connor is going to be a big brother and the best big brother.

March means i get to watch my husband become a dad.

March means i get to watch my family grow by one more little person.

I cant believe that it has already been 9 months. YES 9 LONG months. But its finally here. The month i get to meet my handsome son. I cant wait to see the look on my husband face when he meet Izaac for the first time, or the smile on Connor face when he see his brother! These are the little things im looking forward to the most!

I just want to see how my three boys are going to act.

I want to see a tear in my husband eye when he watches our son be born.

I want to see mine and Logan love grow a little more.

I just want my little man here already!!

In less then 18 days i will get to watch this all happen and i cant wait! These last few days are going to be the longest days of my life but i know its going to be worth it in the end..

I'M JUST SO READY!
