subscribe36 Weeks
December 16th, 2010
Almost there! Where have the past nine months gone?? This pregnancy has progressed unbelievably fast…
We’ve started our twice weekly ultrasounds of baby Poppy. Now that we’re near the end, my doctor wants to keep an eye on the amount of amniotic fluid and Baby’s size. Along with those bi-weekly visits, we have our weekly exams, and somehow managed to schedule each of those appointments on different days, so half of our weekly afternoons are spent at the doctor’s office. We’re getting quite cozy there. In fact just yesterday afternoon I felt completely comfortable enough to close my eyes and doze off for a few moments.
Anyway, I am grateful for the technology and advancements that allow us to keep such a close eye on our babe. The numerous visits aren’t even a bother, just to know she’s doing well in there in the home stretch. And we’re rewarded with seeing her sweet little face twice a week!!
Yesterday I had the exciting anticipation planted in me that this little girl could come before the new year! I am already one centimeter dilated (is that too much to share? I’m not sure…) and my doctor doesn’t think we’ll make it to my January 5th due date. I told her that I keep telling Ant I have this strong urge to buy a “Baby’s First Christmas” onesie just in case. But Christmas being only 8 days away, I suppose that’s a little rushed. All these glimpses of her is only making it harder to wait. The house may not be ready for her arrival, but I sure am.
