Our 34 week appointment was yesterday and we were hoping to get to see her sweet face in an ultrasound. The doctor said, though, that they'd only do one if they thought something was wrong and needed to check on her. I'm sad we didn't get to see her, but still happy that they think everything is going the way it should.
I read yesterday in my weekly pregnancy email that if she were born between 34 and 36 weeks, she'd be fine, just maybe need a little watching in the special nursery. Hopefully she won't take that chance and she'll wait until at least 37 weeks, but she's on her own agenda and as long as she gets here healthy and safely then we'll deal with whatever comes our way when needed.
I officially have put in for maternity leave! Even though I know I'll miss my co-workers, I'm pretty excited to be going on "vacation" for about 8 weeks. My last day of work is October 23rd, maybe 22nd since I'm taking a class. I say that's my last day, but we'll see if little missy has something else planned. I've learned that I can't "plan" and that I have to just let it happen, which anyone knows is hard for me! I'm still working on it and at least I feel like I'm making progress.
I have to take a minute to brag on my sweet husband. First he said that he didn't think a picture of a dead deer should go on the baby's website...and he ended up getting a new phone and losing the picture anyways, so whatever. Secondly, he folded up the towels!! Anyone who knows me knows that I'm OCD about neatness and having things in order and last time he "folded" them he did a half hearted attempt and had then all uneven. This time he took his time and put them in the linen closet and it looks like I did it! Woohoo!!
Third, we've made a plan to not eat out but maybe once a week (I confess that we ate out most nights and me working night shift doesn't help when Jordon's the only one home). So far so good. Jordon bought a rotissere chicken on his way home the other night and we still have enough chicken on it that I'm going to make some chicken salad before I go to work tonight. We've also fallen in love with hoagie rolls. They make anything taste good on a sandwich! Ok, here's my bragging part...I went to my little cousin, Jenny Lynn's birthday party last night and when I came home he had cooked dinner. I mean real dinner! It was the first time he'd made something like shepard's pie himself and I have to admit that it was a 7 out of 10. We both agreed on a little more spices, but it was so good and now I'm going to have some good dinner for work tonight!
