34w4d today!!!

We had such a great appointment this week! Our doctor was very informative and confirmed what we suspected that "Yes, Dakota is head down & ready to go!!" So that is why I have been having different symptoms than I was before. My blood pressure was great; baby girls heart rate and size is perfect; urine test came up perfect- the doctor even said "keep doing what you're doing!" Yay!! We also found out that our due date is actually Feb. 5th instead of Feb 8th- so we jumped 3 days! She said its because the actual ultrasound gives you a date and thats what they were working with, not with my last pd. She also said that this coming Tuesday the 4th will be the sonogram where they measure the weight and height of the baby so thats exciting too!! 

Lucas and I went today to Southampton Hospital, where Dakota will be born, to tour the maternity unit- How great!!! They were very informative and showed me through every part of the unit, including the nursery and the private recovery rooms! 

They also had me drop off my pre-admission papers and had me sign consent forms so that I don't have to sign them when I get there to deliver! Its getting close now guys!!! Down to the wire now, the doctor even asked us yesterday if we have a car seat and bassinet! Sure do, we are so ready for this little girl!! Now all we need are clear roads for a safe trip to the hospital!!

Okay guys, thats it for now! Here are some belly pics- next Tuesday I should have some sonogram photos for you too!!

Happy New Year everyone! See you next week!

Little miss has dropped!!

Your Pregnancy: Week 34

No, it's not (just) the lack of sleep that's making your vision fuzzy. Pregnancy hormones and fluid buildup can affect your eyes' curvature and tear production, making them extra-itchy and sensitive. No matter what your vision's like, take a look toward the light -- less than two months to go!

Baby's now the size of a honeydew!
Baby can recognize and react to simple songs...time to start practicing your lullabies! In fact, baby will recognize frequently sung tunes after birth and probably find them soothing. Less cute news: She now urinates about one pint per day. Get the diapers ready!
