Baby drama

 Yesterday was nerve racking. I went to my 37 week appointment and we had a bit of a scare. My belly is only measuring at 35 weeks and I actually LOST weight last week. I told the Dr. that I was very concerned this baby is small. I've gained half the amount of weight that I usually gain when pregnant. The Dr. was concerned as well and he ordered an ultrasound and told me to come back to the office in one hour. He said if baby was in the less than 10th percentile that she would need to come out TODAY. Whoa. I was NOT ready for that news.

 I came home, got the boys to a friends house, tried to not cry, and packed a bag for the hospital. I met Nate back at the office and we had the ultrasound done. Sure enough though, everything is fine and baby is growing right on track. She was moving tons, and measuring around the 50th percentile. No worries. We'll go back in another week to see how things are going. What a relief! This baby is giving me such drama already and she isn't even BORN yet!

It's crazy how thinking you are going to have a baby NOW makes you realize all of the things you still need to get done. After the appointment the boys and I went to Costco. We spent a bunch of money and now I am feeling better about some of those things. We're a lot closer to being ready now. Haha.

Today the boys and the neighbor boys had a lemonade stand. They made over $10! They screamed and yelled pretty much and every car that drove by!  It kept them busy for at least 3 hours today....that would have to be my favorite part. ☺ Bless the good people of the world who stop for lemonade stands. It makes  little boys VERY happy.
