35 weeks



Baby Heiser has reached 35 weeks and should be reaching 18" long and 5 1/4 lbs already! One month from tomorrow and my due date will be here! I know I say this every week, but now, I really CAN'T believe it's almost time for him to arrive! Most days I am excited, but I also wouldn't mind staying pregnant for a bit longer at this point. Robby mentioned to me this morning on our way to work that he wants to get the car seat installed this weekend so I think it is hitting him too that delivery is near! Friday is my 35/36 week appointment with Dr. LaFavor and she will check my cervix and test for Group B strep (which is a bacteria that could cause me to take antibiotics during labor). I have a lot of questions to ask her! Yesterday I filled out the FMLA paperwork for my leave and am still planning on taking the 6 weeks off from work.

After an awesome baby shower in Arcadia this weekend, our apartment is filling up with baby stuff! Here are some pictures to prove it :) Thanks to Jodi/Jenny and everyone for a great time. Baby Heiser is blessed to have so many people that already love him and can't wait to hold him and spoil him! Words can't express my gratitude as well for all the support we have gotten thus far with the pregnancy. I especially need to thank my husband who continues to put on my socks every morning and help me do things that aren't so easy for me anymore. We had fun going through all of the cute clothes and gifts that the baby received and trying to find places to put them. Right now we are in the process of washing clothes and putting them away. There is still one more shower at work next week! Below are just a few of the gifts...




Baby bibs... sporty and nerdy... gotta have both!

Robby only has 2 days of school this week and then he is on Spring break. So he will get to enjoy the nice weather it sounds like we are going to have! He says March/April are hot times for schools to be posting jobs. Yesterday he had meetings at the college and found out he has to take 1 more test before graduation and also apply for certification. This will be the busiest time for him. Thursday I meet with the pediatrician here in Sioux City. I found out I have 2 more days of vacation I have to use up before I go on maternity leave, so more than likely I will save them up and use them for the first week of April. April 18 marks my 1 year anniversary at Tyson! (and FYI, the college JUST NOW hired 2 programmers since Jenn and I left there!) For now, Robby and I will pretty much stay put every weekend until the baby arrives and just relax. Visitors are always welcome! ;)
