Today I am 35 weeks pregnant, and we have just 35 days to go (i love it when little details like this happen by the way).  Wow!  I cannot believe how fast time is going by.  We still have so much left to do.  Lol.  To get you all caught up, pregnancy has treated me well!  I have had very few complications, other than being diabetic, and I feel like I have just actually started really showing within the last month.  I am still getting around well (meaning that I don't feel like I am waddling), and am still fairly comfortable.  I am finding myself waking up more times during the night, and trying to get vertical after laying down in bed or on the sofa is proving to be more of a challenge every day.  But I do it.
We have started going to the doctor twice a week, as of this week.  Because of the diabetes and the fact that she was already measuring 5 lbs 2 oz two weeks ago, they want to keep a closer watch and make sure that all is well on there.  It is reassuring to feel her moving, and kinda exciting to be able to keep tabs on her so frequently.



Baby P at 28 weeks!

 

Today is our last of four showers.  The amazing people at G's work have rallied and are going to shower us with gifts!  I'm excited to meet everyone!  And I'm also excited to get everything home and put away/put in the baby stuff storage area.  We don't have the nursery ready yet.  I am fine with this as much as she will be living in our room for the first few months, but I am starting to stress about having a place to put everything.  We do have the crib and mattress, a bassinet for our room, and the ever-important stroller and car seat system, as well as enough clothes to cover her first year!  So now, my mission is to get it all washed and put away into the dresser that I am hoping to magically find, purchase, and get home this weekend.  Which means that space will need to be made in her room for such a piece of furniture.  Oh, and I also want a shelf.  I am excited about getting everything in place and deco'd!

I am at the point in my pregnancy where I am starting to think really hard about the logistics.  I have finally prepped my hospital bag checklist, which means that I can start gathering everything and getting it into the bag.  That will be a good thing to check off the list!  It is amazing what your body goes through, and the list of things it could need. to recover is equally impressive.  I want to be prepared, so I think it is a good thing that's am reading as much as I can about delivery.  I need hubby to read up on it too so that we can both be on the same page.  And I am starting to get nervous about the whole delivery thing.  I keep telling everyone and myself that our delivery method is still up in the air, and will be determined by how she is measuring and doing in there.  If she gets to the point where she measures over 9.5 lbs, they will start talking about a c-section.  Otherwise, the plan is to go naturally.  I've been doing a lot of research here lately and while I know that people have babies every minute, imagining the pain and recovery has me on edge.  I hope and pray for a good labor and a healthy little girl!

And then the games will begin!  Lol.  I already have ideas for birth announcements and cannot wait to start the photo shoots!  She is going to be a well-documented little one!  :)
