36 weeks

We went today for a growth ultrasound. She was not able to get a lot of good pictures because the baby was moving around so much and kicking the probe all the time. She said the baby is measuring around the 67th percentile, weighing in right now around 6 pounds 11 ounces. We had her take a full body shot so we have a picture of him or her for the scrapbook, it is tucked away in a sealed envelope sorry.

35 Weeks

I went to the doctor yesterday I was 35 weeks and 3 days. The baby's heart rate was 147 beats per minute, and I measured 34 inches. Measuring a little smaller than average, which is great still. Hopefully we won't have another almost 11 pound baby like Mike was :) We go on the 30th for our last ultrasound before we meet Baby Aslinger. Sorry we still aren't going to have them tell us, boy or girl.

Here is my 35 week picture. Sadie wanted to be in it too :)

34 weeks

We went tonight for our maternity pictures, they were so much fun. We took Sadie with us so she could be in some of the pictures. She was soo good. A little tuckered out now though, see her picture below. I went ahead and took our weekly picture today too. Not too much longer and I will be posting pictures of Baby Aslinger.

33 weeks

Mike got back from his weekend golf trip with his buddies in Illinois. It was a very long 5 days without him here. You can tell Sadie is such a daddy's girl, she whined around the house the whole time he was gone, and maybe I did a little too. I took Tuesday off so we could hang out and we were able to do a little shopping for Baby Aslinger. We went ahead and picked out a girl and boy outfit to bring him or her home in from the hospital. Mike did an excellent job picking out the outfits.

I went to the doctor yesterday for my 33 week appointment. After a little blood pressure scare on Monday, my blood pressure is back down to normal and looks great. Baby Aslinger's heart rate was 144 beats per minute. The doctor measured me and I'm measuring 31 1/2 inches at 33 1/2 weeks, which is really good considering we have been worried about having a big baby, since Mike was well over 10 pounds and I was very close to 9 pounds. I go back on the 21st and then I will be seeing her for my weekly appointments. We will be having another ultrasound around the 36 week mark to see how big he or she is and to get one last look before he or she joins us.

We are going Tuesday to have our maternity pictures done, I will be excited to have some new pictures not against the cream wall. So until then here is another black t-shirt photo. You can tell I am so excited to be having this picture taken.

32 weeks

Sorry to all of those who missed seeing my 31 week picture. It was so busy last week that I just didn't get a chance to take one. Yet another picture of me in this black t-shirt so that everyone can really see the changes in my growing belly. (Mike got a little closer on this one, I was so grateful)



Next week I will go back to the doctor, then hopefully she will schedule another ultrasound so we can see pictures of feet, hands, and the face. Still will not have any pictures showing or telling us if it is a little boy or girl, sorry. We also are having maternity pictures done next week, so there will be a little variety, maybe something besides the standing sideways with a black t-shirt up against a wall :)

31 weeks

It has been such a busy week. I went for my 31 week appointment on Wednesday. The baby's heart rate was 142 beats per minute, and I measured around 30 1/2 inches. So hopefully that means he or she isn't going to be a big as Mike and I were. We got our crib and changing table (thank you Grandma Susan), and Mike put it together this week. We don't having any bedding yet, so when we get the bedding I will take pictures so everyone can see. We are starting to feel more prepared. We got our pack and play, (thank you Jill and Aunt Cindy), our swing (thank you Uncle Ryan, Aunt Michelle, Gabe, Uncle Nick, Aunt Lori, and Adam), and Uncle Aaron and Aunt Sarah sent us the little bathtub and bath soaps and toys. So right now we will have a clean baby, who can be calmed down by the swing, and has a place to sleep :) We also took our prepared child birth class last weekend. That was interesting for both Mike and I. We learned a lot about the procedures the hospitals do out here, they sure do have a lot of rules.

This week was Sadie's first birthday. I know funny we celebrated her birthday. Tonight she gets to go to PetsMart and get her birthday toy. They sent her a card in the mail, how cute :)
