So I got to see Dr. Shelton again this week! I told him "no more fishing trips until AFTER the baby is born!" :) I was indeed Group B Strep (GBS) positive. Although, it is not a big deal and he is not concerned at all. It just means they will have to give me antibiotics during labor. Dr. Shelton said 30% of women just have it. It doesn't hurt us at all, but they just want to prevent the baby from infection. I still would rather be in the 70th percentile...and I explained this to him, but that is just how I am! ha ha. My sister 'n law, Age, who also tested positive, reiterated that it "ain't no thang." Right, Age? :)
Also, I'm one centimeter dilated! I know this could mean nothing, and I could remain here for several weeks. But don't burst my bubble...it feels like exciting news to me! It means somethings happening!

Baby Shower-July 24th
Here the pictures I promised of the baby shower that Amber and Dale threw for me back in July.
Amber, me & Dale
My favorite dessert of all time: angel food cake, strawberries and whip cream!
Dale, Amber and the spread. It was so cute!
Some of the first arrivals
We decorated onesies instead of playing games!
Something was funny!
Yummy!
Present time! I got a boppy and cover:
Pack 'n Play from my parents
Eagles blanket AND Eagles bib and hooded towel from Mark & Rosie. Matt was pleased!
A lovely time. I'm blessed to have such wonderful friends in Colorado! I'm thankful for them. It can be tough to be away from family in this season of life.
Shower #2 tomorrow! Our work is throwing us a co-ed one at 5:30pm. I need to get to bed. Busy day tomorrow and I am not feeling well tonight.

August 8th-37 Weeks
37 Weeks! Full term this week.
I weighed in at 160.6
And just for fun here is my new born picture. Mom said I was flirt already...winking into the camera :)
My mom emailed it to me this week. She said the dark hair didn't last long before it got really light!

Aug 4th-Doctor's Appt
At my 36 week doctor's appointment on Wednesday, I saw Dr. Lerch, instead of Dr. Shelton. Dr. Shelton is on vacation the entire week. I told him that was okay I guess, as long as he is around for my delivery! He tells me then when I am actually in labor I am not going to care which doctor is there. I don't believe him...but we'll see. He just creates a sense of calm that I personally prefer.
Dr. Lerch said that the baby's position is head down...so that's good as long as it stays that way! And it explains the sharp pain I sometimes feel in my ribs. I suspected I was getting kicked up there! The other night, I was even able to feel the entire length of the babies leg...and it was up by my rib cage. So it still must be in that position.
Dr. Lerch also performed the Group B Strep (GBS) Screening on me. They will get the results back by my appointment next week. I am going in every week from here on out! Apparently, if I test positive that just means they will need to give me antibiotics during delivery so that the baby does not become infected. About 10 to 30 percent of women carry GBS. It is not anything serious though...especially if they prevent the baby from contracting it.

Aug 1st- 36 Weeks
Wow! I'm 9 months today. CRAZY. Here is your 36 Week picture:
I forgot to weigh in this morning...oops! I'm sure it's more than last week :)
Matt just arrived in Dallas. I dropped him off at the airport in the Springs a few hours ago. Encompass Home Health sent him there for some training. So this baby better not be making an arrival this week! :) I find that highly unlikely but I do have a game plan if I need to go to the hospital for any reason: Amber. She is the friend who threw me the shower. Which by the way, I got those pictures today, so maybe I will get them up soon. I really have no excuse not to be productive this week with my husband not arriving home until Thursday night. But I'm lacking some motivation. I already miss him. Life is just so much more fun with him around! Miss & love you, babe!

July 31st-More Pictures by Jessie
Jessie sent me the DVD of all of our images from our maternity shoot! If you would like to view all of them, go here. Click on the "Clients" tab. Where it says "enter password" type "Wittleder". When you type, it should show up as asterisks, not letters. It can be a little tricky because it is hard to tell where to type. But if you see asterisks, you are good to go! Here are some more that you haven't seen yet:
July 25th- 35 Weeks
35 Week Pic:
Oh baby! Getting big :)
160.2 this week.
On Saturday, after my baby shower, Matt and I went to the Mastercraft professional wakeboarding competition in Colorado Springs. It was on Prospect Lake. We didn't want to pay to get in, so we went to the other side of the lake and watched from there! It was much more peaceful over there anyways!
Matt has a video he was going to put up, but I told him I would just post and he can add it later if he wants to.
I will post some baby shower pictures. Amber's sister took pictures and Amber put them on a DVD for me. I just need to go pick them up! It was a wonderful shower.
