It feels like the last few weeks have just flown by and here we are literally days away from meeting our baby girl. I am having a hard time thinking about anything else these days....that could be because I am carrying a basketball belly and I am getting around at the pace of a 90 year old woman but I think it is more the anticipation and excitement of our newest family member!
We have had a crazy busy week! Our big girl turned 4 and we had an awesome Little Mermaid party, complete with a visit from Ariel. We were all just spent after the party and since Carli has learned to take pictures on my phone, I found these gem later that evening.
We enjoyed a relaxing labor day weekend (post party) and enjoyed a cookout with neighbors, my third massage in 3 weeks, and a little shopping excursion. I think I have an addiction to tiny baby girl clothes!! I couldn't help but reflect on Labor Day 4 years ago....but no real signs of labor this year!
Because of my "advanced maternal age" I am having a NST (non-stress test) done weekly. They basically hook me up to a machine and I get to listen to baby girl's heartbeat with a fancy clicker that I push every time I feel her move. The tests are going smoothly and I honestly don't mind it. It's a nice relaxing, quiet time for me and baby. Dr. Keder also checked my cervix for the first time this week. I am not dilated at all.... so although things can change very quickly, we are guessing that we still have a little bit of time...but we are ready when she is!!
I only have 2 weeks left to wrap up things at work and I am optimistically planning to meal prep and relax the week before baby G arrives. We are in the final days as a family of three. We are all just so excited to meet our little girl and love on her.
