We had our 37 week ob appointment yesterday, and came back with little to report. Baby's heart rate was 147 bpm, my bp was 124/72, and I am still measuring 1 cm smaller than I "should" be measuring on my belly. Next week, Dr Peck will start checking for dilating and effacing, so we have another week to wait and see what's going on in that department.
I think we have a name we like, which is a relief to me! We also have diapers and the carseat washed and ready to go, so I feel prepared in a way.
Grandma Gerstenkorn says we have to wait until the 24th to have this baby, Rachel says we need to wait until August 4th, and Grandma and Grandpa Rahija will be gone from the 25th to the 28th, so they have put in a request for either before or after that timeframe. However, Dr. Peck is back from his vacation, and aside from being off for the weekend, he said he's here for the duration, so we're just going with his schedule :) Any other scheduling requests will be considered, but probably ignored (especially if this baby is anything like her two big sisters!). Thanks for your prayers and support! We can feel it!

Loved reading your three new posts! Wouldn't it be cool if we had our babies on the same day?! My dr. comes home on Sunday, so I'm relieved that I've made it this far! I'm curious to see where I'm at on Monday....still 2 weeks away, but feeling like she could come anytime. My intuition said that it would be on July 18th, but I guess that's out of the question at this point. Are you sharing baby names, or keeping them a secret? I'm done with all of my baby projects for now too. Well, besides installing the carseat. I can't seem to find anyone that will do it around here...so Tim and I will be left to our lonesome reading the manual and hoping we do it right. :)
BTW, I love the new room!! Thanks for posting pics! Hang in there....not much longer now!! :) Send us an email, or even give us a call if you'd like to let us know when you have your daughter. We'd love to be in the loop! We'll send you guys an email right away, and probably post "updates" on labor on our blog. Love ya,
Heidi :)
