Hi buddy!
Well, in a few hours, we will have made it to 36 weeks. WOOHOO. Not only does each day get us closer to your lungs being developed, it gets us closer to you being here! At our 35 week appointment, everything looked fine but I got lucky and was written out of work. Now, I can officially be on bedrest during the day without feeling guilty about it. Today is my 3rd workday that I am off and I can honestly say that we have stayed in bed each of those days. Your brother was out of town this weekend and daddy was working on the house so we stayed in bed the long weekend too.
I really thought for sure that you were going to come this weekend. I just felt weird all day Saturday. My blood sugars have dropped - which is a miracle in itself. And, I was in a lot of pain. It seriously felt like my tummy was just going to burst open and there you would be. I got that pain again last night and I had your daddy feel my tummy - he was shocked at how hard it was. Each day, I get a lot of pain but unless you break your water, we are staying put at home. We go back to the dr. tomorrow morning for our 36 week appointment.
Your daddy thinks these last few weeks are going to go quickly and for once, I agree with him. The days go by so fast now. We nap, we watch TV, we read. Then, daddy is home, dinner and back to sleep! I can't believe it is only 3 weeks until we get to meet you. I would not be too sad if you came early but I just don't want you in the NICU. I can't imagine only getting to see you for a minute before you are whisked away and not getting to hold you at all. So, like I tell you everyday - you can come today if you want but only if you are fully developed and healthy. Until then, we are stuck together :)
