Oh baby! :) Has it really been 8 weeks since I last blogged! I hope this isn't a sign of what is to come with my blogging. It is awesome to see the counter on the page say 25 days until Zoe's arrival! I am so excited to meet our precious little girl in person! I can't begin to go through everything that has happened in those 8 weeks, but I have to say it has been wonderful and we are all doing great!
We had our last doctor's appointment on June 22. We were able to have a ultrasound again to see our Zoe again. She is looking good, and the doctor said she looked like she was right on track. From the measurements she took, she was weighing 4.5 lbs at the time which is normal for the number of weeks I was. We go the doctor again this Tuesday, July 7th to see what the progress has been. I think after this appointment we will start going every week to check everything out! I am hoping to carry her a little longer just to make sure those lungs get fully developed!
We are basically done with the nursery. I love it and it is definitely a collaborative effort from Geoff and I. He definitely put in the time to make it a special place for his little girl! :) I really don't have much left but to begin washing everything! :) Everything is put away, but I need to take it all back out and wash it before she comes. This task is a bit daunting considering all that I put away! Ha! :) I am still waiting on a chair that I ordered and to hang a couple of pictures, but if she came today we would be fine! Except her mommy has not packed her bag yet either! :)
We have gone to a couple of classes to help prepare ourselves for Zoe. I am so thankful for Conway Regional Women's Center and the awesome staff and facility they have there. I went to an awesome breastfeeding class while Geoff was away, and together we went to an all day childbirth class last Saturday. I know that I am more prepared because of
those good instructors. Tuesday night we will go to our final class we have registered for which is a Baby Basics class which will definitely be helpful as well. I know nothing will really prepare us, but we are doing our best to try to be as educated as possible.Currently, I am still feeling really great for 36 week pregnant person. I am still able to go the gym and do some light lifting. I am able to do pretty much what I want everyday. Praise be to God! I have had some pain in my hands due to swelling, but better my hands than my feet! My feet are swollen, but it is nothing compared to my hands. I have claws in the morning instead of fingers!!! :) Ha! My only complaint is laying down and rolling over. These tasks are difficult and a bit painful at times. I prefer being up and running around still. The more I move the better I feel. Zoe moves a lot during the day and makes her presence known. I will miss these feelings the good and not so pleasant ones. I am blessed beyond measure right now, and I feel like everything is as it should be. Our family is growing by 1, but joy it is growing exponentially! :)
