Baby Updates

I had my 32 week appointment today and everything looks great! I'm getting so excited to meet this little one soon! I will be 33 weeks this Thursday and can't believe Noah and I will welcome our sweet baby next month. What a blessing it is to have this child and I only hope to be half as good as my parents were. I can only pray I have the patience of my mom and the child like attitude like my dad.


Stats:
Weight: I weighed in today at 121 lbs. - I'm not happy that I weigh so little but the beginning of my pregnancy was so rough and unfortunately I lost a lot of weight. The doctor said I'm just fine and as long as I am gaining then everything is just fine. My doctor also told me I'm a small framed woman and that also contributes to my low weight gain. I should gain about 8 more pounds until due date which I'm excited about.
Baby Position: The baby is head down and ready for delivery! Just have to be full term and I should be able to have this baby without a C-Section.
Comfort Level: I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable but I'm just fine with a little discomfort. This baby is worth every kick and awful feeling I have.
Baby Room: The babies room is a work in progress. I will show pictures once Noah and I have the crib up and some wall decorations.
Due Date: If I go past my due date then my doctor will induce me a week later. He only induces on Wednesday's which means my baby would have the birthdate of February 29th.
Work: I've worked through my whole pregnancy. I know a lot of people think I'm crazy but I firmly believe in hard work and contributing to my little family as much as possible. My parents raised me that working hard is very important. I will be working my last day of work on January 31st and even knowing I will have a couple weeks of no work and no baby makes me uneasy. I don't like the feeling of just sitting all day or just sleeping. However, Noah told me the other day how proud he was of me and having a couple weeks of doing nothing will be good for me:)

I will post picturse soon.

I Miss You! I am really sorry I missed your shower, I ended up staying in AZ a couple days longer than originally planned. Please let me know if I can do anything to help. I would really love to do whatever you need. You are a trooper lady!

PS - I am kind of giggling about some of the office conversations that we had right now. We were funny! I mean we still are :)
