And here is August...month number 9!
It is hotter than I can stand it, but it won't get me down! Things are rocking and rolling at the Schroeder household. With Eric painting the baby's room and me going on baby shopping spree's, we are almost ready for our littlest family member to join us. I feel dorky but I get excited just packing up the diaper bag. I frequently peak in her room just to look at her stuff. I really cannot wait until she is here.
I am going to the doctor every week now. The last appointment I had on Tuesday went well, I was worried she hadn't been moving much, but the doctor monitored her and she is just fine. I guess she is making her way down, getting ready for birth, so she moves less. It is amazing to me that babies know what to do, where to go, and that my body works so harmoniously with hers. What a miracle. I am a few cm dialated already, which is exciting. However, I can walk around like that for a month, so I don't want to get my hopes up. At the very least, I feel like I am really in tune with what is going on, and my doctor affirms it.
We saw a lot of Eric's family over the weekend which was nice. It was weird knowing that the next time we see them, we'll have a baby. Will this ever register? I really don't think it will.
From this week on we are home bound- we are thankful that we cleared out our schedule so that we can remain close to the doctor and hospital for the rest of this month. that's all for now... baby love!
