36 Weeks

Ok, so this baby is going to be here in no more than 20 days!! AHHHH!!

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.
