38 weeks, 5 days

St Luke's offers a Childbirth class, and luckily it is free to employees. So we were able to attend them and learn a lot from some professionals. It was a six week class that started in October and ended the middle of November. I had to leave work early and rush to class. So grateful for this experience in preparing for the delivery, breast feeding, and any questions that I rattled off. Here is our little group, smaller than what is normal I guess. The couple the furthest to the right were our favorites, Mark and Aneeta (she is from Poland), superly sweet and fun. They have the same due date as us and are expecting a girl too.

November 26th I had my manager measure Adaline to see how big she was right now. According to her measurements, she would be full term on Thanksgiving, weighing a whopping 8 lbs 12 oz. However Ultrasound can be a pound or so off, so who knows until she is on that scale.

Today we just came back from a Doctor's visit. Adaline is doing well, in the perfect position (with some cheating from me looking in by Ultrasound). Her head is down and her spine is up, so far, perfect. She is so low that the Dr. had a hard time finding her heart beat. She had to angle way low. Her heart rate is in the 130's. She gave Dr. Lyon's a little jab while she was probing. Right now I am 1 cm dilated, 20% effaced. So nothing too scary, and so we are just waiting patiently for Addie to give us the warnings of her debut. We are on the count down!! 38 weeks and 5 days....and counting.

Love that baby girl!! I am not going to lie, I have absolutely LOVED being pregnant. There were a few days here and there that were rough, but over all it has been a wonderful 9 months. I was always worried about this or that, and with priesthood blessing performed by Joe, Heavenly Father has given me a lot of encouragement and blessings. I couldn't have asked for  more. We have been so blessed. I can see myself missing the little miracle of life fluttering in my tummy, making me wonder what she is up to. But we are BEYOND excited to see her cute little face and chubs. When I looked today for her position, I could see the fat rolls in her thigh....!! Can't wait to kiss them =0)
