New Website

Stephen and I created a new website! We'll be adding music and video to it for those folks that don't get to see the kids very often. All posts will be updated on that site from now on. Enjoy!

Last Day of Work

Today's my last day......just another week until Aden is here. We are pretty excited and have everything ready for him at home. I'm glad that I was able to take this last week off to spend with Asher. I'm really looking forward to it and know that it will be a relaxing week! I hope everyone keeps in touch. I'll have to be sure and get online at least once a day to check my mail, etc. With luck we'll be feeling good and be able to make it to Katie's wedding on March 11th. It will be fun to have the whole Schnitzius family meet Aden!

Dr Appointment

I had another appointment this afternoon, it went great. Aden's heartbeat is 148 bpm, my blood pressure is 120/80 and I've still only gained 6 pounds! I'm feeling really good, maybe a little tired, but that's expected. Dr Andy is guessing that Aden will be around 8.4 lbs at time of delivery. The last 2 visits when the Dr has felt my stomach they both made a comment about how big this little boy will be. There's definitely not a lot of room for him anymore and every little movement seems to hurt a bit more than it did just a few weeks ago. I tried to get out of my next appointment, no such luck. One last visit........ next Wednesday March 1st.

Dr Appointment

Stephen and I went to the Dr this afternoon and everything is looking on target. I did gain 1 pound, for a total of 6 pounds overall!! We did some blood work to make sure my iron is looking good. I'm watching for labor signs.....he could still come early. Dr thinks Aden will most likely be a good 8 pounds for sure. He's pretty big! But I didn't need anyone to tell me that!!! I'm feeling pretty good, still have lots of energy, for now. I have my hospital bag halfway packed for "just in case" we have to go early. Other than that, it looks like we're ready! At least as much as we can be. Next appointment on Wednesday February 22nd.

Delivery Schedule

We are scheduled for delivery on Friday March 3rd at 7:30AM. We just found out this morning that Presbyterian of Allen is completely booked for that day, so we will be at Medical Center of McKinney. With luck we will be discharged on Sunday the 5th.

We Have a Date!

I went to the Dr this afternoon for my latest checkup. Everything is looking great AND I'm still at a total of 5 pounds gained! I was so excited to see that especially after our 8 day trip to Vegas where I think we ate more than any other activity!! Aden's heartbeat was 137 bpm. My measurements were right on target, so we are pretty sure that our little guy was just in a weird position the last time I was measured. Blood pressure was also great, 120/80. I'll head back to the Dr again on Feb 15th.

Delivery scheduled for Friday March 3rd. We're really looking forward to meeting our new son!
