So, we are hitting 32 weeks tomorrow and I cannot believe it! We had an appointment this past week and everything looks good; my blood pressure was a little high this time, but apparently that is normal for 1st pregnancies and towards the end. So, my doctor plans to monitor the blood pressure a little more. Otherwise, at this point, she is happy with the progress of the pregnancy.
I have another ultrasound on Monday to gauge the growth of the baby some more. This little kiddo has been moving like crazy the last couple of weeks. One evening this week, Vic and I sat and watched the little girl or guy roll around and push the top of my stomach up over and over while we watched TV. Of course, the baby and I still like to play the fun game called "let's move a lot and then call Vic over to feel or see the baby move and as soon as he gets there, let's stop moving". It is fun for me and the baby, but Vic doesn't seem to like that game as much...But, he did see it and feel it the other night for a good long time!
My baby shower being throw in College Station by some great friends Cady, Stacy & Katerina is THIS WEEKEND! I can't help but be really excited to not only hang out with some great ladies for a couple of hours, but to also talk "baby" for that entire time.
We are working on the baby room - artwork, sewing, shelf painting, changing table building, organizing, etc. But, it's hard to see much in completion when we are waiting for our crib to come in - could be as late as mid-May but hopefully before! So, I promise pictures when it all comes together!!
We also had our childbirth class this past weekend - it was most of the day on Saturday. I have to admit that I have not thought too much about the details of the labor and delivery until then and at the end of the day, I was a little less excited about what my body will go through and all that I need to know. Don't get me wrong - it's worth it and I know people have babies every day and all goes fine. But, it's still a lot to think about when all you want to do is get that baby here safely. So, lots of faith and prayers and patience will be needed by Vic and I. Otherwise, I am excited to know that I will deliver at St. Joseph's because I've heard such wonderful things about the nurses and doctors and how they take care of you. And, I felt that same vibe after our day learning from the nurses that work there.
That is the update - just want to keep you all posted. No pics of anything fun today, but I'm sure I will have some fun pictures after this weekend!
Sarah (and BABY!!!)
