At 35 weeks, baby is practicing breathing and has just about reached her length. She will keep putting on the weight over these last few weeks.
I am now visiting the doctor on a weekly basis and will start the non-stress test next week. Her heartbeat is still falling in the 140's and she is measuring right on track.
I am still in nesting mode...but hiring out a lot of the "help". This past week, we had our air ducts cleaned out so we could all breath fresher, cleaner air. It had never been done so it was pretty gross!
I also had my car cleaned and detailed. It looks and smells so new and clean. We should probably think about installing the base of the car seat soon. I finished packing my hospital bag too!!
To prepare for the big day, I have also filed my claim for maternity leave with work, scheduled our newborn photo session, and we took Carli to her new school to meet the teachers and see the classroom. She is very excited to start next week!
It is clear that I need to SLOW down though. On Tuesday night, I was outside watering the plants and took a little spill walking up the porch steps. Somehow I tripped over my sandal and fell. I skinned both knees and went face first into the front door. My cheekbone is tender but no visible bruise. I was soaking wet...because I was carrying a full watering can.
Luckily, I am fine...but it could have been much worse and I have been extra sore the last few days.
We are very excited about the long Labor Day weekend ahead. We have a very special birthday to celebrate, I have a third prenatal massage scheduled, and we are looking forward to some laid back family time in the cooler temperatures. I can't help but reflect on 4 years ago when Labor Day weekend turned into REAL Labor Day!! My how the time has flew by!
