33 Weeks - Busy UMC Week

This week was a very busy one with a lot of exciting things going on. We started the week with a baby shower from the ladies at my work. Ellie was so kind to put the baby shower together and worked for months getting it all together. We had the shower at the restaurant BJ's and it was so much fun. I was great to have so many people come from the day and night shift. They were all so generous, I was taken away by it all.

Right after the shower my mum and I went to the hospital for one of your many non-stress tests. You did a great job moving around like a bumble bee. All it took was 20 minutes and we were out of there.

The evening of the shower, your Dad and I had a maternity tour at the hospital. We were able to see the labor and delivery rooms, the operating rooms, and the rooms on the 7th floor, where we will go after your big arrival. We finished the night by watching a educational video about the labor process and lets just say your Dad and I were slightly overwhelmed.

On Thursday I went in for an appointment with Dr. Moreno and everything looked great. She put you on the ultrasound machine and thought you looked beautiful. She also mentioned that my fluid looked great which means your kidneys are working just like they should. We talked about my concerns about going to 40 weeks, especially with work and trying to fit it all in. Dr. Moreno suggested that if everything continued to look good, then we could shoot for 39 weeks instead. I went straight to your second NST of the week and again you looked just as you should.

The week ended with me feeling a tad under the weather but by Sunday morning I was feeling a lot better. Your nursery continues to keep coming along and we want more then anything to bring you home with us. Please keep growing little girl and may your heart and mind grow strong. We love you.
