34 Weeks and A Baby Shower

I am officially 34 weeks! I have been pregnant with LK a week longer than I ever was with MG! I'm so happy to have made it this far. I'm miserable and swollen and sore, but so thankful that my baby girl is still growing INSIDE my belly, not in the NICU like her sister!

Today was my work baby shower. The funny part is that it was my very first shower ever! When your first baby decides to come at 33 weeks, a couple weeks before all your showers were scheduled for, and it's the middle of RSV season with a preemie, you just don't have a shower! It was so pretty. The girls really went above and beyond to make it a special time for LK and myself. I'm really blessed. We got several gift cards to Target and money (time to get some diapers!!), a few precious little outfits, 2 bow holders, a canvas painting and a handmade blanket. It was just perfect! MG had the best time going through all the gifts. She's so ready for her baby sister to get here!

33 Weeks

Had another great checkup. It took awhile to hear LK's heartbeat because the little stinker was moving too much! The nurse found it on the right side of my belly, then the left, then we heard a loud "whoosh" and it was back to the right side! Ha! She's a mover and a shaker! Heartbeat was 150 bpm, perfect! I'm measuring 34 weeks (at my last visit at 31 weeks, I was 2 weeks ahead, so this is good). I had lost 1 lb (Yay! Because at my 31 week visit I had gained FIVE LBS in 2 weeks!! Ugh!). Everything looked great. We talked about my concerns with delivery. I've been really worried about trying to deliver a "normal" sized baby since I had such a terrible experience with a 5 pounder! He reassured me that we were not going down that road. If at any point I get off the curve of a normal delivery, we will look at option. I love my dr and feel so much better after talking about it. I love that he has a plan and I trust him 100%!
