Doc's Report/Old News is still good news

Well, it was back to the doc today & FULL TERM -Ekkk!

Docs report:

Caleb is still head down

Cervix closed, but slight effacement

"Right where I'd expect you to be at this point" -Doc

Back every week for follow-ups

"Probably" ultrasound in 2 weeks if he has not made an appearance

And his final verdict: 

"You won't be like this forever, promise." -Doc

Caleb is obviously still growing since I've put on what seems to be significant amount of weight from my last reported, or maybe it is all the doughnuts & cupcakes I have chose to splurge and eat since I only have a couple more weeks before I give up all junk. HA!

Pregnancy Progress to Date:

37 weeks 7 days

Weight: up 23 lbs.

Sleeping better, although belly makes is harder to stay comfortable

Caleb ALWAYS has his bum in my ribs

Feel like I'll bust, EVERYTIME I eat -but can't get enough

Current cravings: Bush's Original Baked Beans & still Cupcakes

-----Old News-----

It sure has been an exciting week and a half. Saturday, June 25 I traveled to Kingsport, TN and shot my 1st wedding.  Who would have imagined that a 36w prego had it in her. I fared much better than I, and everyone else thought I would. I am so happy for newlyweds, Mr. & Mrs. Burton. Their wedding was beautiful & perfect. Here's a little peek.

Before leaving for Kingsport I was so glad that I had the chance to drop in on the Blackburn's home & say hello to them. It is ALWAYS great to spend time catching up with Sarah.  Ian kept us entertained with his box drum abilities & introduced me to the Marvel comic super heroes.  It amazes me how much you can learn from a 3 year old. Little Liam napped in my arms. He is so tiny & precious. I just love her boys so much. Ian was not amused by my photo taking, but I was able to get a good pic of little brother anyway.

Got to see the other kiddos this past week too. But, who can get Kylee (7), Bella (4), & Max (2) to sit together & still enough to get a photo? They sure are a hoot!

I sure missed Jayla's constant entertainment while she was gone. But, man she sure has been giving me lots of laughs this week. Her new found attitude is challenging and cute all at the same time. I tell everyone I spend 95% of my day doing one of 2 things while I am with her:  1) Shaking my head 2) Laughing. She is GREAT therapy for those in need of some comic relief. 

I mean seriously, check out the photo below if you do not believe me:

I mean really, she was being so good and acted so content watching Princess & the Frog while having a popcorn snack that I thought "WOW" she must love that movie. Immediately after that thought, I realized that the headphones she was wearing -well, as you can see...not even plugged in. I am not sure I have laughed this hard since the "big daddy boogie" incident (see 4/29/11 blog if you are wondering what I'm talking about). She proceeded to take the headphones off and ask, "What you laughing @ Car Car?" -Another moment where I just shake my head @ her. 

Well, hope everyone had a HAPPY & SAFE 4th of July weekend. Don't work too hard as you all head back to "reality" = work. 

Until next time, MUCH LOVE!
