24 day left (maybe...)

Down to the once a week visits which are a little more interesting than the pee in a cup, blood pressure, heartbeat and out the door visits. Love the paper gowns! Heartbeat was 135 this week and 155 last week so when I asked what that means the Dr said "that heart rate is no predictor of gender". He said that it is good if the heartbeat fluctuates because if it is too steady then the baby may need to come out. On 2/20 he said that the baby was about 5.5 pounds and if I go to term to expect about a 7-7.5 pound baby. We'll see...

The room is pretty much ready and I have done laundry so the child will have something to wear after birth. It will be green or yellow (I know, that's our fault for not finding out) but the clothes are too cute no matter the color. In fact I already lost a sock and a mitten thing in the dryer. They are just sooo little! So I bought a mesh bag to wash those things in from now on.

2 family showers this weekend so that will be fun! I need to finish reading about immunizations and get the bag packed :-)

33 weeks

33 weeks on Friday and all is well! Blood pressure was up a little (130/80) but they said not to worry. Measuring normally and all that jazz so back on 2/12 for next appointment. Still nauseous and throwing up but once a day is OK (at least I can handle it for a little while longer...) The Xavier-UMass game gave me some Braxton-Hicks (good thing we won) so it may be March Madness that puts me into labor!

We have some free time this weekend so really need to work on packing a bag and trying to get things in order. I still have a lot to read before this kid gets here :-) The rest of the furniture should be here in the next 2 weeks so that will help complete the room and give me a place to put the clean clothes/blankets that I washed on our snow day.

We had 2 great showers so far! "Game night" which thanks to pregnancy brain I didn't pick up on was a great surprise. Sunday was a shower/Superbowl party which was also a lot of fun! Friends in from out of town meant a lot and made for an overall weekend of nuggetness. I definitely need a nap :-)
