Delivery date update

Yesterday I went for my weekly ultrasound, and NST. When I saw Dr. MacVittie I was told that due to the issues with my eyes, and I believe some other things, Dr. Pinet up at Maine Medical wants me to have a C-Section at 39 weeks. That is all I know for now, but I will be finding out more at Thursdays appointment. I have to do another round of lab work, including a 24 hour urine test. I believe that Dr. Pinet wants me to have that done every couple of weeks to monitor my kidneys and such. But aside from all that Thaddeus appears to be on target with where he is supposed to be.

A kinda belly picture for those who have been asking :)

Jeremy thought it would be funny to take a picture of me sitting on the couch. That day my back was really hurting so I had the blankets and pillows arranged so I would be comfortable, along with the heating pack. In this picture I am about 30 weeks pregnant.

Surprise

Well on Saturday I thought I was just going to go out to lunch with Jeremy's mom, and Aunt. We did that, then his mom had his Aunt drive around, missing where she would need to turn every time to get me home. Well the reason was she was trying to throw me off, (which she did, and wouldn't have had to do so elaborately) We ended up at Jeremy's best friend's home. Janice, Tom's wife had been planning for awhile a surprise baby shower for me. I had a wonderful time, and got many great gifts, both store bought and home made ( Love the diaper bag that Tom's mom made). The Inside of the diaper bag.








Jeremy's mom made a really cute Clifford quilt.








The funny thing about all this is the fact that the night before I was telling Jeremy if I were to go into labor the next day we were in no way prepared to have a baby. He told me not to worry, he is pretty good at keeping a secret! We are now rudamentally prepared if Thaddeus decided to join the world earlier than he is expected. We have a carseat, stroller, size 1 diapers, wipes, bath stuff, blankets, and clothes! So we can atleast get him home from the hospital when the time comes.
