34 weeks 5 days
Well, we are in the final stretch of this pregnancy and I have to say, this mommy is ready! I have been feeling great and Kira appears to be very healthy. It wasn't until this weekend that I hit the "I am so ready for this to be over" phase. I think I am just tired in general and anxious to meet our sweet baby girl.
At a recent OB/GYN appointment the doctor put me on weekly ultrasound and non-stress test visits. I am not in any high risk or danger and neither is Kira. He is was just airing on the side of caution due to my medical history of high blood pressure. In the last few weeks of pregnancy is when high blood pressure can creep up and cause problems for mommy and baby. So, Dr. Baiza has decided he will just monitor everything to make sure we are both good. My bp has been fantastic at every appointment and he is pleased with how well things are going.
It's hard to believe that in just 2 weeks I will be 37 weeks, considered full term and able to deliver at anytime. Last week was the family baby shower put on by my amazing mom and sisters and friends. I cannot say how blessed we are to be surrounded by such loving, caring and giving people. Matt and I both were a little sad to know his mom wasn't here for this, but we know she is looking down on us and rejoicing for her little granddaughter.
My class at school is getting anxious to meet the baby as well. They ask everyday how many more days till she comes. I didn't think I would be, but I am a little sad to leave them for a few weeks. I have a pretty great class this year. But I know they will be in the best hands possible!
More updates as the time for baby girl gets closer and closer!!
