36 weeks

We reached another milestone this week ... we are now officially considered full term!!  I have to say it is quite a comforting feeling that if baby G or K decided to enter the world, things would be okay!  We are now having weekly doctors appointments.

36 weeks & feeling every extra pound!

This week was a long week for many reasons.  Monday I had a doctor's appointment in which they performed the Group B Strep test.  Um, to say the least not the most pleasant experience, but I kept reminding myself that it couldn't be worse than labor.  And it was for the good of our little one.  The baby is still head down, and being stubborn being on the right side.  The heart rate was good (150 bpm - had been very active before the appointment).  No dilation though.  After my appointment, I went to seven of my local dairies to visit.  Tuesday I was in Delaware and on the eastern shore of Maryland.  I've been trying to see all of my customers before I go on maternity leave.  On Wednesday, I went to New Jersey to see my two and only dairies.  One of which is own/managed by Jared's boss's wife, Melanie.  Then I travelled to Rochester, New York to ride with a co-worker.  My boss asked me to ride with at least two fellow co-workers this year, Kurt in New York, and Stacia in Minnesota.  This was the first week that Kurt and I had both open and I really wanted to ride with him before going on leave.  Stacia is also pregnant and due in a couple of weeks, so we will plan something for when we both return from being on maternity leave.  Plus, who really wants to go to Minnesota this time of year.  Not me.  New York was bad enough with the cold and snow.  Yesterday, the little one and I arrived safely back to Pennsylvania.  The exciting part of returning home (besides seeing Jared and the hooligans) was that the basement was complete!!

Now for some pictures, that I know some people, not mentioning any names ;) have been waiting for!

Jared and I are extremely happy with the basement and how it turned out.  I'm really glad that it is complete and passed inspection, all before the little one arrives.  Now our family and friends will have a place to stay.  And as a bonus it is two floors below the nursery, so hopefully they will be able to sleep during the night!  Can't wait to have our first guests - mainly because that means our little one will be here!!
