So…I’m at 36 weeks now….wow…that means officially I only have 4 more weeks to go….Here is a side by side of me at 20 weeks…amazing how much I’ve grown…and my belly too! =) All is good…I have another appointment with my Dr. next week and then I start seeing him on a weekly basis. Greg is in Asia right now until the 21st so the little girl in on strict orders to NOT COME EARLY. I really hope she is more like me then Greg when it comes to these things because he would come early just to show us that he could. Not that I would mind a week early of course =) Where else can she go in there? I can finally tell where most of her body parts are….i have a pretty good idea where the rump and head are and the feet for sure…everyone once in a while i get a push way over on my right side where she never is and i wonder what part of her that is….there is always a foot in my right rib cage….but she is very gentle…rarely does she kick hard. Everyone can watch my belly move on it’s own now…occassionaly we interupt work meetings just to stare at it.
I’ve been home sick with a cold for the last few days but finally I think that I’m getting over it. Yesterday it snowed (see the picture with our first little girl!) so I was happy to not have to brave the streets! Saturday I’m spending the day with my sister….we’re getting pedicures (oh how my feet need it! not that i can see them or anything….but I’m sure they need it!) and going over my “birth plan”…a new term for me as of several months ago…apparently a lot of people have more of a plan then just going to the hospital =) Anyway, we have asked my sister to join us during the birth (sorry Dennis). We thought it would be good to have another person in there besides Greg and the nurse in case greg needs a break, or a snack, or we need someone to go get something for us or talk to the grandparents…and my sister is really the only person I could imagine being in there….Her and Greg get along great so he will be totally comfortable and I know she will take really good care of all of us! Then Sunday my mom is coming up to stay the rest of the week until greg get’s home. It will be nice to have company…though I don’t know what she will do all day! it will be her first time driving to Bellevue on her own…we are meeting part way and she will follow me the rest….and since we don’t have a land line she will have to depend solely on her cell phone for the week…another first,,,, it will be a big week for Grandma!!!
Other then that just trying to wrap up a few more things before the little girl makes her appearance…finding a pediatrician, packing my bag (and hers), a few more odds and ends….Greg and I did decide on her full name (and the spelling of it) before he left just in case…..but we’ll save that for later!!!!
