FTT

FTT stands for..... FULL TERM TOMORROW. I'll be full term tomorrow! Normally I would have said I was full term on Sunday but at my last dr appointment she told me that I should really be going by the March 18th due date and not the March 21st due date. Especially since I've been measuring 2 weeks ahead for quite some time now. So going off 3/18/10 as his due date, I'm 37 weeks tomorrow! WOOZERS!

Carter is estimated at just over 6lbs now. She said that if I go to 40 weeks she thought he'd be right above 8lbs. His heart rate was 130-150s and he was moving around like a mad man! He's so big now that when he moves my entire stomach moves. It's so crazy to watch. I keep trying to get a video of it but I swear he knows as soon as I pick up the camera. Just like when Joe tries to see him moving or feel him he stops (unless it is the hiccups! which he gets all the time) He's definitely got a little defiant personality! As soon as we want him to do something he stops.... I wonder where he gets that from. It's definitely not his momma! :)

In other news the girls from work had a baby shower for us this past weekend. They totally spoiled Carter and I with lots of good food, great company and some really sweet gifts. And I really wanted to move in with Heather for a while as I slept SOOOO well at her house!

Being back in Phoenix and at our Gilbert house was nice too. Driving down we got off the highway to stop at a gas station and I rolled down the windows in the "girls car" and both Kody and myself were sniffing like crazy! Phoenix smells so good in the spring! And Joe had a great realization this past weekend - he still loves our Gilbert house and can now see us staying there for a while. When he told me this I had to give him a look and laugh. I've been saying that all along!

Other than that I'm trying to take it super easy this week so Carter stays put and I can make it through another weekend in Phoenix. Dr wasn't too thrilled with me going, but really even if I went into labor in Gilbert it wouldn't be that bad. I have doctors down there who have seen me for more of this pregnancy than the Flagstaff doctors. I figure if I bring the hospital bag I won't go into labor. Makes sense right?! We're really hoping we get our house rented this weekend and we can check that off our list! After this weekend we're pretty ready for Carter to come at any time! Although maybe I should start telling him to come this weekend just so we can insure that he doesn't!

Pics to come soon. Belly is HUGE, I feel huge, etc. The letters above the crib are finally done so I'll get a pic of those too!
