Only 9 days left till we get to meet our daughter! To most of you your probably thinking, how fast, but for me it feels so far away. Probably because my feet and ankles are gigantic, my hands are numb all day and the pain in my back has become constant. Pain aside, we are so excited to meet you, and can't wait for dday, by the way any signs or hints you'd like to give us as to when that will be would be greatly appreciated.
38 Weeks
My 38 week Dr appointment went well. Every week I see a different Dr. in the practice, so I'm now just rotating between the four and it's funny how everyone has a different opinion. The good news is that you dieted this week so my belly hasn't grown any larger and her heartbeat was normal. Based on my exam she didn't think anything would be happening in the next week and they would see me for my 39 week appt. She also sympathized with how swollen I am. We will likely get one more ultrasound in if we make it to term to make sure everything is ok with the lil lady and hopefully start on your eviction notice :)
This week I worked from her per Dr's orders which I must say makes a huge difference on how my body feels. My back and feet feel the most relief that is for sure. It was also your Nana's birthday on Thursday, and while we celebrated last weekend just to be on the safe side, I did have fun posting these pictures!
Project nursery is almost complete, all we need is our little girl and a few other accents and we are done. The biggest is her name which we are obviously waiting to put up till after she arrives. Here are some pictures of how the space turned out, we really love it!!
I have the worlds best bestie and you have the worlds best God Mother. On Sunday Brit came down to the city to treat me to a yummy dinner at Summer House. She wanted to make sure we got in some bestie time before she went out of town for the weekend incase you decide to arrive early. We had an amazing time, catching up and laughing like we always do. She also got you the most adorable onezie, I have a feeling she is going to spoil you rotten, but that's ok!!
I also had a great catch up lunch with my old boss JC during the week and she treated you to some really adorable goodies, as well as a Nordy's gift card for me. It was so sweet of her to do that since she couldn't make it to the baby shower in June and way to generous of her. Makes me miss working there so much.
swaddles, onezie and hat, and ballet socks
