What?? Annalise will be here next week!!

This is correct...I will be going in either next Sunday or Monday night depending on when hospital has openings. I'll find out for sure today. Last week when I went in she was measuring at 33 weeks when she should have been closer to 37 do he wanted a sonogram this week to make sure my amniotic fluid was okay and to take her measurements. So yesterday Dr. Morehead did the sono on me and sure enough Little miss Annslise was measuring in the 5th percentile. My amniotic fluid was great and not low and her heart is still super strong so she is so small either bc one) she is just a small little baby or two) my placenta may not be giving her everything she needs but either way she is good right now but they want to take her earlier than later just to be safe! We got to see a little glimpse of her sweet squished face...sure enough that left hand was right up next to her face like its been at every sonogram! (makes me wonder if she will be a leftie like her dad??) and by her face I think she is going to look a lot like Mario's sister Bea! Both Mario and I was like "oh my goodness, she looks just like Bea" which she is a female version of Mario. We will see very shortly! Wish I could post pics but once again no computer:) Please be praying for Annalise this last week of her growing inside of me and also for Mario as he has a tough decision coming up if he gets the job at global here in waxahachie. This means he'll have to mAke a decision bt two jobs so pray for that!

37 weeks

We are officially under 3 weeks to go until her ETA:-). Yes, I'm starting to finally realize that we're about to have a baby! I mean of course I've been pregnant knowing this whole time we are obviously going to be parents, but something about this last week has made it seem more "real"! Mario are I are both out of school and it feels awesome! Let's just say I didn't understand the whole "nesting" that women go through until this last week...I feel like a crazy woman cleaning every closet, dusting all the baseboards, and the list goes on... Mario had two job interviews this past week! As most may know he has been teaching in Maypearl for the last 6 years and is now looking for a change and somewhere a little closer due to our car situation at the time. One job offered him a job on the spot but he's waiting for another school to get back with him. We should know something this week so we will keep you posted! Both districts are within 5 minutes from our casa. I am now seeing the doctor every week which being out of school makes this really easy. Last week when they measured me, Annalise was measuring really small so Monday they want to do a sonogram to see what percent she is in. If she is under the tenth percentile with weight, Morehead will more than likely want to induce me this week. I don't want to type out all the details as to why bc I'm typing from my phone but let's just say I really feel like she is just a little girl who was folded up awkwardly causing the measurements to be off. Mario and I are actually on our way to a birthing class...yes I know I procrastinated a little bit! I missed signing up for one at our hospital so were driving over an hour to attend one in Granbury TX. Do I even have a hospital bag packed or a car seat installed??? Well if you know me at all then you know that my answer is no! This will be on the agenda tomorrow! Stats: I've gained 23 pounds, still no cravings, very uncomfortable when it comes to sleeping, getting very excited to hold this crazy girl ( yes I say crazy bc she never stops! She is constantly moving from side to side). And so curious to see who she is going to look like! After viewing baby pics this week of Mario and I, let's hope she looks like Mario:), Annalise now gets the hiccups all the time...it started around 34 weeks just in the middle of the night but the last few weeks it's any time of the day.
