The Countdown Begins...

It is amazing to think that we are about 15 weeks from our due date! The time truly has flown by! We had our 24 week check-up today and everything is going great! Baby Eddins has a strong heartbeat of 150 and both Mom and baby got a clean bill of health and the green light to go to Arizona tomorrow! We can't wait to get out of this ridiculous weather we are having!

We had the pleasure of touring both Mercy and St. Luke's birth facilities last week and are proud to say that it is pretty amazing that we have two equally great and capable hospitals to choose from in this town. I had some questions for Dr. Olson to clarify a few things, but I am guessing if we had to choose at this moment we would deliver at Mercy. We are both going to discuss it further in Arizona, but even Dr. Olson said "it sounds to me like Mercy is the better fit!" It really puts things into perspective when your own doctor has nothing but good things to say about them both, we truly are lucky to have two great hospitals right down the street from each other...when we can't even keep a GAP open!

We are quickly realizing how much we have left to do before we welcome a newborn into our home. We have been working diligently on cleaning out the room that will become the nursery. I have ordered a swatch of the bedding I believe we are going to use, called the painters and the crib is on order, but we have A LOT left to do to consider ourselves "ready!"

Our next appointment in February will be our last monthly appointment and then we move on to the two a month schedule and then before we know it we will be seeing the doctor every week, until the baby arrives. We have been so blessed that the pregnancy has been so easy for us, it has really made time fly by. We hope and pray that the next 15 weeks are just as easy as the weeks behind us and that we welcome a happy and healthy baby to our family in the near future!
