Updates!


Its been awhile since I posted a note and I do apologize. Things have been crazy here as we prepare for the little guy to arrive. Here is a summary of the past few weeks:

*28 weeks- Doctors appointment where everything continue to progress well. Mommy and baby are feeling fine, dr. is pleased with progress and has no concerns at this point.

*32 weeks- My baby shower was held Oct. 3, 2009. It was a great day where I spent the afternoon with all my friends and family. Corey and I received so many wonderful gifts for Parker including tons of books for us to read to him as he grows. Of course the amount of PSU gear was endless, this boy really dosen't have a choice to like any other school besides mommy and daddy's alma mater.

Our last ultrasound revealed Parker weighing in at 4lbs and positioned head down facing back, which means he is getting ready for his arrival into this crazy world. The technician was pleased on his development and said we should not have any concerns. Because of his position it was difficult to get a good face picture but she managed and he is the cutest baby I've ever seen. His heart rate measured at 130 which has been the lowest for him, but the kicks, jabs, and hiccups continue to be very prominent.

*33 weeks-Oct. 14 my work threw me a surprise baby shower, and yes I was surprised. All the nurses, aides and my co-workers in therapy came together to make the day so special. We recieved all the last minute stuff we were preparing to buy and the clothes he recieved have filled up the once empty laundry basket. Mommy has been busy doing laundry and organizing his room with the help of daddy, of course. Parker is so blessed to have so many people looking forward to his arrival, which means the world to Corey and I.

I have another appointment scheduled for Oct. 26, and from there we will only have 4 weeks left until his due date. Many people are guessing that I will be delivering early..that is to be determined. The pictures included are of my mom and mother-in-law Hedy at my shower (top), my sister, Karissa and sister-in-law April (middle), and Corey painting his room (bottom).
