Baby Updates: November

November 1st marks 36 weeks; and now only 28 days until Isabelle's due date! We're in the home stretch now and getting so excited to meet our little girl. 

Here are some photos of what we've been up to:

Here is the hospital Isabelle will be born at. Our childbirth class during the month of October included a tour of the hospital and maternity floor. It is a beautiful new facility, with beautiful birthing suites; and being able to take a tour puts our minds at ease.

We ordered some final items needed before Isabelle gets here. Here, Joe is doing some nesting by figuring out the baby video monitor. He is just the cutest!

A wonderful neighbor/friend sewed us a couple changing pad covers for Isabelle's room. She did a wonderful job and we love them!

A couple of super soft and cozy Christmas sleep and plays we bought for Isabelle. So precious! One of them says "Santa's Helper" and the other one says "Joy".


I put together the outfit we will take Isabelle home from the hospital in. I wanted something comfortable for her to wear, so this is perfect. I knit the hat/booties, and the onesie, pants and bow are from Papa Mike and Grandma Georgine. I absolutely love the little kitten on the butt of the pants!

I couldn't resist and bought Isabelle a Christmas/Holiday outfit. I seriously cannot wait to dress her cute little self up!
38 Weeks! It's getting harder and harder to move around and get comfortable, so I've been living in sweatpants and comfy t-shirts. At our last doctor's appointment on 14 Nov, the doctor said Isabelle will be at least 7.5 pounds. Joe is predicting 8.5 pounds. I prefer just not to think about it, except that she will definitely be a happy, healthy little girl!

More to come this month... if there is more to report! I will continue to try and post weekly bump photos. I am predicting Isabelle will be born in December, but Joe says "Joe babies are born on time!" So, we'll see!

 


Joe and I traded in our two 20-year old cars and bought something more reliable with a lot less maintenance. Here is our 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Mr. Jeeperson (named by me). He arrived just in time before Isabelle's estimated arrival!


40 Weeks, 11/28/2014! At our last appointment, doctor predicts Isabelle will come this weekend based on my body's progress...We'll see!
