My dr. appointment

Today I went to see my midwife, I asked her to check to see if the baby was head down. On Monday when we did the 3d ultrasound baby's head was up under my ribs. The midwife did another ultrasound to make sure...and the baby is head down! Yeah!! Let's hope that baby stays that way...Everything else was good, heartbeat was 140. She also checked me and she said that I was at a 1 1/2, so we'll see. We are just continuing to wait. I have been feeling good, no regular contractions, although when I do have them they are getting more uncomfortable...I don't know if that means anything. Yesterday I did come down with a cold, so I just hope that the baby waits a little bit to come, it would not be fun to be in labor with a cold, not being able to breath and just feeling icky. So that's the news, my next appointment is on the 13th...I wonder if I'll make it:)

Here's a little update

This picture of my belly is from Oct. 14, so a little while ago, although it hasn't grown that much since then...thank goodness:)
The kids at the pumpkin patch by our house.

We had the 3D ultrasound done yesterday, since I'm so far along the images aren't that great (they usually like to do them around 32 weeks) but they are still pretty cool to look at. The lady was looking for the head down by my pelivs and couldn't find anything...turns out that baby's head was up under my left ribs, so am hoping that this little thing turns the right way in the next couple of weeks.


Baby H with it's hand up by it's mouth



We think that baby H has Luke's nose




As of yesterday I have officially two weeks until my due date...Crazy! I am getting really excited to see this little one...although I am a little anxious about the labor and delivery. I pray that everything is fine.
The kids had a good time for halloween (I need to get pics off my camera) Luke was Indiana Jones and Avery was a little 50's girl with a poodle skirt. We went to church for Rocktoberfest. Tara, Ian and their two kids came too, so the kids ran around having a great ol' time. We couldn't tear them away from the jumpees so Tara and I took Avery and went around to get candy for them. They had this thing called 'trunk or treat' and people had decorated thier cars and they were handing out candy from their trunks...it was very cool. After church we went to Chad's sisters house so Luke could run around with Brody, he also had to switch his costume..so now he is a clone trooper from Star Wars. For his halloween party at school he dressed up as batman...what can I say, the kid loves to pretend!
Luke also has started t-ball. He went for his first time yesterday and it was so much fun to watch. About a dozen little kids running around not having a clue what's going on, I was laughing so much:) They are just being taught the basics...hitting, running the bases, playing in the field...stuff like that. At one point I caught him in the outfield spinning in circles until he fell down dizzy...I couldn't stop laughing. He was so excited though, he had a lot of fun. ( more pics I need to get off the camera).
So I think that pretty much sums it up, we are just waiting for the arrival of the next hilzer baby and I am trying to working a couple days a week still. I'm going to dr. appointments once a week and everything is good, I'm going to ask her next time about the baby not being head down yet. Other than that, nothing much else is going on with the Hilzer family. Will try and be better about keeping a more recent update about things...Take care and love you all!
