Baby update

Hi everyone,

Well, time is ticking away rapidly now. I am 32 weeks and just had my latest ultrasound on Monday. Everything looked good. Jacob weighs about 4 lbs 3 oz. His head is now positioned downward, so that's good. It's only a matter of time when he is actually here. I am getting a little more scared, excited, anxious... for the big day. On Tuesday, I met with my new doctor. My other doctor decided to take a year off for some reason, leaving me to find a new one. I met her, Dr. Jennifer Thome, yesterday and I really like her. The only bad thing is she is only filling in for another doctor who is on maternity leave until mid-September or so. So, at least I will have her for the next month or so. She informed me that I wouldn't have to have any more lab work done, since everything looks good. So that's great. Next visit is Aug 28, and then they will be every week until I deliver. Oh yeah, and my due date changed. It's actually Oct. 1, not 2 as I originally was told. But apparently, all the documentation says the 1st, so a day earlier is good. So, Darci, I hope you don't mind sharing your due date with me:)

Pete went back to work on Aug 3. He is currently in Mobile, Alabama. The ship needed to do some maintenance work that can't be done when cargo is onboard. So they are at dry dock as they call it for about 2 weeks. This is where the boat is actually taken out of the water completely while they work on it. Where they will go after that is unknown at this time, but he should be home a couple weeks before Jacob arrives, but you never know. He is very active and I think he wants out. Pete will miss our 1 year anniversary by only a few days, so we will be able to celebrate that hopefully before the next big day.

Well, I hope all is well. Take care and talk to you all soon.
