Today I'm officially 34 weeks pregnant. In one sense I am so ready and excited to have him here, yet in another sense I'm not sure if I'm ready for the chaos that is about to ensue! I went to the doctor today and will start going once a week from here on out. I get an ultrasound next week to check the baby's position. My doctor will be out of town next week, so she quickly felt my stomach to see if she could tell his position. She said he may have flipped from breech. She said my stomach looked less "breech like". But, she warned me not to get too excited yet. I will know for sure next Tuesday. I'm so nervous for this appointment. I just pray he did flip. We talked about what the plan would be if he didn't. She can't try to flip him because my placenta is in the front. My only option if he is breech is a c-section. She said it will be scheduled for January 24th. I soooo don't want a c-section. I am hoping to get great news next week!
The little prince's room is almost completely ready. I will be taking pictures soon to post. I am so happy with the way it turned out! It is too cute. It was fun to do a boy's room this time. We are just about ready for him I think. (Or as ready as we will ever be!) I'm waiting for after Christmas to finish last minute things like packing a bag, setting up the co-sleeper, etc.
I have been feeling pretty good still. This pregnancy has just been a dream compared to Ashlyn's. I am starting to become more and more uncomfortable each day as he gets bigger, but I still feel pretty good. I do think this is partly due to the fact that I have been getting massages every 2-3 weeks this pregnancy. It has made a world of difference! I go in aching from head to toe, and walk out of there feeling amazing! I LOVE my massage therapist! She is the best!
Last week was my last week of work. It was very bittersweet for me. My kids were not happy to have me leave. It broke my heart to say goodbye to them. I am looking forward to getting to spend all my time with my kids now. I plan on spending lots of good quality time with Ashlyn the next few weeks. We have had a great time the last two days. Tomorrow we are going to a movie just the two of us. Ashlyn is just loving getting to have her mom home with her. In January, she will go to preschool two mornings a week.
Ashlyn is getting very excited for her brother and Christmas. She told me the other day she was very excited for her brother to get here so she could hold him. The other night, she took her doll's pacifier to my stomach and kept saying "It's okay, calm down". Apparently, she told me the baby was crying. I just know she will be a great sister. She is such a big help. I just hope the adjustment isn't too hard on her. My parents are going to make it a little easier by taking her to Disneyland a few weeks after the baby is born. Surely a few days of grandparent time will make her lots better!
Ashlyn is very excited for Christmas. She has really enjoyed the lights and music this year. Her favorite songs are "Rudolph" and the Hippopotamus song. She discovered the hippo one yesterday, and has been listening/singing it every since. Her Rudolph rendition is the cutest thing ever!
I plan on blogging more since I'm not working at least until the baby gets here. I will update with any baby news. I will also be posting baby room and Christmas pics soon!
