36 week check up

We went to the doctors today to check up on Sophia. She is growing perfectly, although she's a little on the small side. She is in the 38th percentile for her size. She was estimated at about 5 1/2 lbs. as of today. My due date is exactly one month away! I can't believe it! She wasn't head down...her head was kind of off to the side and her bottom was up near my ribs. Her heart rate was 156 and she was wide awake during the ultrasound. We even got to see her practicing her breathing! Everything just looks great! My blood pressure was 112/78 and I've gained a total of 8 lbs. my entire pregnancy. I can't wait to meet our little girl!!!

7 weeks and counting!

I can't believe I'm in the home stretch. Sophia is moving more and more lately. I know pretty soon she'll be running out of room and won't be able to kick and roll around as much so I'm trying to enjoy it now. I'm so excited to see what she looks like! I hope she looks like her Daddy, but gets my eye color! Although, we only have a 13 percent chance of her being blue eyed. I'm sure she'll be precious no matter what! Domingo and I are in the midst of taking a 6 week child birth class. We go every Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. So far it hasn't been anything too majorly exciting. Although they taught us some relaxation techniques last week and my favorite one was using 3 tennis balls in a sock and rolling it up and down your back. It feels great! We have almost everything we need for our little girl and can't wait for her to arrive!

Baby shower time!

My Mom and sister, Amy, threw me a wonderful baby shower on September 26th. I am starting to run out of time and energy hence the reason it took me so long to post about my fabulous baby shower! We had about 30 people show up and it was so nice to celebrate the pending arrival of our baby girl with all of my closest friends and family members. Domingo's mom and friend Sara even came all the way from Ohio to be here for the shower. Mom and Amy did a great job! The food was fabulous! Amy even made Cranberry Jello Surprise per my request which was super YUMMY! We got so much stuff for Sophia that we're not quite sure where we're going to put it all. She has a ton of clothes and will be very well dressed for the first 18 months of her life! My assistant Janet at work threw me a baby shower last week and it was great to celebrate with all my work friends as well. We still need to buy a few things for Sophia, but for the most part, we're ready when she is! Only 52 days to go! Domingo and I feel very lucky to have so many people who care about us and our daughter to be! :)
