7 weeks left

I woke up this morning and when I looked at the bed found Sally sleeping between my two pillows like this. I always put a pillow standing up against the wall and then one flat to lay my head on. Well the flat one had pull forward a little and she was squished between the two with legs straight up in the air, fast asleep. Maggie of course was on the other side of the bed surrounded by pillows, she knows how to find a comfy spot.

There is my belly in all its pregnant glory at 31 weeks.

I had an appointment today and it sure made me happy, and my doctor too. I gained only two pounds, so he was happy with the pound a week, though I was happier with less than a pound a week. I have a feeling that I am going to really be fighting weight gain this last little bit as Ryann starts to pack on the pounds. My belly measured the same as last appointment so he was really happy with that. I was afraid she might have had another huge growth spurt because I sure am feeling bigger. My sugars were good enough that my medication didn't need to be changed. Feels good to know that what I am doing is paying off. My doctor said he was "just tickled" with how things were going for me. Then I asked him about delivering me at 38 weeks because I am just afraid of how big she will be if we wait those extra two weeks. He said he would at possibly 38 1/2 weeks, depending on my cervix. He doesn't want to go too early and risk having to do a C-Section, but I'm kind of "damned if you do damned if you don't" case. That just made me happy to know that he is on board delivering me early. So now I can officially start my shortened count down...7 WEEKS LEFT.

I finished, again, Ryann's name and decorating her shelf. Though I bet the decor of the shelf will probably change two or three times before she comes. The little flower and ribbon under the shelf is a bow holder I made her. Jeannie got me the purple piggy bank because I had been talking about decorating one. I was going to put a little tutu on it but I ended up just put a bow by its ear and one on its tail. Who knows what will come of my next nesting/crafting spree.

Jeannie finished the bumper pad. The quilt is really close to being done. It just needs the edge done, but I have seen it and I love it!
