I saw the doctor on Tuesday. She said that the baby has dropped and I am making progress. She also told me that if I make it to my next visit (Wednesday, July 30)…and I want to be induced…she will induce me on Thursday.
I have decided that I want to be induced. So…she will arrive the end of next week, if not before!
This past weekend we went to visit my dad in Chicago. We had a nice time. The weather was great. We were able to be outside most of the time…Jada loves being outdoors. They have a large open area behind their house where Jada could wander…There was also a park down the street that we visited. We did a little shopping on Saturday. Mostly we just hung out and visited. Bill uploaded some pictures that he took into Jada’s album.
Today I had an OB visit. Dr. Rettig said that I am not quite a 2, but I am soft. I have also lost 1 lb….that means I am making progress! I go back next Tuesday.
Jada saw the eye doctor today. He said that her farsighteness is correcting itself. We go back in 6 months to have them re-checked. If all looks fine then, she won’t have to go back until she is 3.
Jada goes for her 15 month check-up tomorrow…the visit will include shots. She has an ear infection now, but refuses to take the antibiotic (I have tried everything). She may end up getting referred to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor because of her recurring ear infections.
I’m thinking about getting a new computer here before long. I’m looking at an AMS GBox with an Intel 2.66Ghz or 2.8Ghz CPU, either 512M or 1G of Ram, and using some of my existing components (120G HD, 128M ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, and Sony DVD Burner). Here’s a picture of the computer. Click on it for a larger version.

Our new addition is due to arrive in less than 5 weeks! I am very excited and a little nervous! How am I ever going to take care of two little girls?
I went to the doctor today. I am 35 weeks, and I measured 35 weeks. She expects Lana to be around the same weight as Jada. I have gained 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks…but that is still only a grand total of 17 lbs.
I will go to the doctor weekly from here on out. She will start checking me next week…that means she will check to see if I am dilating and/or if my cervix is thinning out.
With Jada, I was dilated 1 cm the first time she checked me, but I didn’t really dilate to 2 cm until I was in labor.
I am hoping to get Billy to move some things in the basement so I can start getting out the baby essentials. The bassinet, car seat, swing, etc. are all in the back corner behind a lot of other stuff!
