33 Weeks and Counting...
We are down to just seven weeks until our due date! And things have been busy. Our little girl thought she'd give us a wake up call last week. Despite my disbelief, we had our first experience in labor and delivery. By the time I was hooked up to all the monitors, my contractions were only 3 minutes apart! The doctors quickly gave me a shot of Terbutaline, which stopped the contractions almost immediately. Needless to say, we're now getting a little more serious about finishing up our preparations.
Despite that little scare, the doctors seem to be extremely happy with Baby Rags's development. We started our weekly ultrasounds, and all is looking great. In fact, last week she was weighing a hefty 3 1/2 pounds! We also got to see her feet and little toes. Kicks are changing a bit. She's running out of space, so we're now limited to pushes, elbows and rolls. But she still seems to get in some good play time when we listen to Pachelbel and Vivaldi.
We're looking forward to celebrating this Christmas with baby. Though we're sad that Sierra won't be here to celebrate with us, we know that she's up in heaven looking over us and our baby girl.
