Update

Weren't those 3D pics awesome?!  I keep looking at them and wishing I could actually look at Weston.  Of course I know as soon as he is here, the real hard work begins.

I've been watching A LOT of pregnancy shows on tv lately.  Baby Story, Deliver Me Home Edition, Birth Day, Make Room for Multiples, etc.  It is fun to see the new babies and imagine what it'll be like once Weston arrives, but it sure makes me nervous about delivery!  As of now, my induction date if I don't go into labor on my own, is August 24--my actual due date.  However, I'm thinking of moving it up by at least a week if the doctor will still let me.  If I go into labor on my own, there's only three days of the week the doctors in my office are "on call" which means if it's not on one of their days, they won't deliver Weston...a doctor I've never met will.  This makes me wonder about all this "pre-payment" stuff....if a doctor from another office delivers Weston--I won't have to pay them will I?  Will Craig Ranch pay them for me since I already paid them?  Anyway...the only way to even guarantee I get MY particular doc; Dr. Heather Sloan, is if I induce. 

We'll see what happens I guess.  As Granny would tell me--I'm worrying about things I shouldn't worry about yet. ;)

Oh-Jarred's work is throwing us a shower on Thursday and I think we're both getting really excited and are super grateful!

Weston in 3D!

Well we had the 3D/4D sonogram today. It was really neat to see him moving and all. He kept his hand up near his face and even got caught sucking on his fingers and thumb. He yawned and smiled and got stubborn too. He was too cute. We think at this point he's got Jarred's nose, lips, our cheeks, and my toes. ;) Here are a few pics!

Diaper Cake

Here's a cute pic of the Razorbacks Diaper Cake that our friend Brandy made for Weston.  It's adorable!  I'll put up more pics later hopefully!

Saw the Surgeon...

I had my appointment last week with the general surgeon about my gallbladder.  According to him, my gallbladder is probably just shutting down and deciding not to work since the sonogram of it showed nothing wrong.  He says since I had issues with it before pregnancy, the pregnancy itself is probably what caused the extra strain and caused it to want to just quit working.  He says he will operate and remove it AFTER baby Weston is here. 

That seems like a no brainer, right?  You're probably asking "why surgery in the first place?"  Right?  Well as my surgeon explained, the OB is right about gallbladder attacks causing preterm labor.  BUT...the attacks that cause preterm labor stem from gallSTONE attacks, and because I have no gallstones...I should be good to go.  I will still be in pain, and because it is simply shutting down and working when it wants to--there's not really a good way to predict when an attack will occur or prevent one either.  It may happen with a food once and never again, or vice versa.  So...I just have to hope and pray it doesn't give me too much grief.

So anyway, as soon as Weston is born and I am comfortable with going in for surgery, I will call him and schedule it.  As of now I figure a few weeks after he is born as long as I've not had a c-section.  If I have a c-section, hopefully we can put it off until Thanksgiving or Christmas.  We'll see....

I'll update the blog sometime this week about the wonderful baby shower we were given this weekend in Murfreesboro.
