I had my 38 weeks appointment yesterday and had a stress test done on the baby. All is good with her, she moves as much as she's supposed to I just can't feel her like I used to. Probably because she has moved so low. My doctor was suprised how low she was and told me that he probably wouldn't see me again before the baby was born. WHAT!? I mean I was early but Ryan was three and a half weeks late. I would rather earlier then later. The lower she gets the more back pain I have and the harder it is to walk. But Ryan really needs her to hang on until Friday night (a tax deadline) and I was told by my sister it would be best for her over the weekend too. When I told my dad he said that he told my mom when it would be best for him for me to be born and I waited until then. Hopefully my baby will be as good for her dad as I was for my dad.
So, I could be a mom...in less than a week...that sounds so big! Completely life changing and it still hasn't really hit me yet. I still feel like I'm "playing house" and am six years old. That's not good, I'm going to be in charge of someone else's life. I can't be six anymore!

Kimi! This is so exciting! I was so happy to go to my last appointments. I went to my 39 week appointment and scheduled one for 40 weeks just in case. Well, I didn't have to go. Kate was 3 days early.
I was ready to go like 2 weeks early and was living with the thought "any time now" which made that those 11 days seem rather long. So, pack your bag and I hope your next two weeks won't feel too long.
Are you debuting the name of choice after she is born?
lol, No we are sharing her name. It will be Elise Claire Jensen.
Yay, so exciting! Hope everything goes well for you and that sweet girl! Yeah, it feels weird when you actually BECOME the parent, but you just take it a day at a time, and before you know it, you're at the point where you don't remember not being a parent.
If you think you're playing house now - just wait till you have that little doll to add to the game. I totally felt like that when I had my babies. It is the best time ever!!!!
We are so excited!!! We are keeping all three of you in our prayers.
LOVE YOU!
Linda
This is so exciting!! I can't wait to hear more!!
Stress tests are so boring aren't they??? I was always stuck watching random T.V. channels at Orem Community and it always felt like it would never end.
