I had a surprise doctors appointment yesterday. I swear, Cade is going to be an attention getter. He wants to make sure that no one has forgotten about him during the two week break in between doctor's appointments. I think that I have only made it through the entire two weeks a handful of times w/o interim appointments. Yesterday I kept getting really dizzy and hot flashes so I got the medic here at work to take my bp and it was 148/90. I called the nurseline just to see if it was alright that it was a little high and they wanted me to come in just to get checked out. After being in the waiting room for two hours, my bp was back down to normal. The doc said that everything looked fine. Somehow we got on the subject of delivery and the doc suggested that I consider a c-section. She thinks that it is a valid thought as I have had open heart surgery twice in the past and she thinks that it may put more strain on my heart than necessary!!!!!!!!!So now what??? She said it is up to me which path I choose, but she would take a closer look at the c-section option. Since this was not my normal doctor, she wants me to talk to him about it to see what he thinks. I guess we will find out soon enough!! Either way, the countdown nears the end.........44 days!!!

Well another good doctor's appointment. I tried to convince the doctor that the baby was bigger than 32 weeks.........but no luck. He was measuring exactly 32 weeks yesterday so we are a day ahead of schedule woohoo!! His heartbeat was at 152 bmp. Other than that, it was a pretty uneventful appointment. I will go back in two weeks and then start my weekly appointments. That's when I will know it is getting close.

Here are a few pics of the shower. We received a ton of amazing gifts and the girls did a great job at throwing the party. I can't thank everyone enough!

I had our first baby shower yesterday. It was so great. My sister, mom and a few friends threw it at my sister's house and I couldn't have asked for more! My sister always goes above and beyond when she does entertaining and she definitely did this time as well. I had a really good turn out and appreciate everyone that got to come and help us celebrate. We love you! Cade got a ton of nice things and he will be decked out in firefighter gear for a while and his daddy was really excited to see that. Justin also loved the Bama t's that Cade got (funny that he thinks he is going to wear them:)........well maybe every now and then I will let Justin get his way but not without his Auburn bib to go along with it. I just can't give in!!

Thanks again to everyone! I couldn't ask for better friends and family!

Another good, uneventful check-up yesterday. The heartbeat was at 137bpm so it has slowed down a lot. I am feeling really good still. I am getting some of the tiredness again and however baby Cade is sitting is killing my stomach.......but it's nothing that I really need to complain about. 10 weeks to go!!!!

Here are some pictures from our 4D ultrasound that we had yesterday. It was soooo awesome!! Any doubts of this baby being a boy were definately put to rest. He is definately a he and he is going to look just like his daddy! He has Justin's round face, nose and lips. Sooooooo cute!! We can't wait to meet him!
