So, my oh my I am officially 34 weeks today!! Can you believe it! I certainly can't. It seems like just yesterday that I was telling John that we were going to be parents again, then finding out we were having a girl, now we have no more than 5 weeks to go!! Since I am trying a VBAC and have gestational diabetes, they don't want me going past 39 weeks!! One week closer to meeting our daughter!!
Well, I have been having non-stress tests for a few weeks now and this week we are starting two a week. Today was a good day. Baby girl finally started moving after they buzzed her twice and she woke up from her afternoon nap. My appointment is at 1pm usually on Tuesdays so I assume she was just practicing for when she is here!! Also, while we were in there I had a pretty darn tooting strong contraction. I have been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions lately. Some to the point of needing to breathe through them. They are getting worse daily. Not to the point where I need to go to the hospital by any means, but I definitely need to breathe through more.
It's just my body getting ready for baby girls arrival. I am excited that my body is having contractions and decent ones at that. At my NST today it was up to 123 on the contraction monitor, the week before it was in the 50's. Progress. I am hoping to make it to week 37 but my girlfriend, Alexa is predicting that I don't make it. We'll see.
Speaking of Alexa, she has been SO incredibly sweet to put together and host all by herself a shower for baby girl and myself!!! I am so excited. It is this weekend and I can't wait to see all the hard work she has been putting into this party!! I have such wonderful friends!!!! Thanks Alexa!! You are the best!! I owe you big!! I figured that since I had a shower with my pregnancy with Aidan that I wouldn't with this baby, but I love that she thought I needed one!! I have to be honest, I love parties (even if they aren't for me)!!!
So, keep posted I will post pics of my shower this weekend, and also I need to post more pics from Thanksgiving. I haven't done that yet either. Lot's of blogging to do this week!! On the to do list.....34 week photos (posted), baby shower blog/pictures, and Thanksgiving blog/pictures. So I have a lot to do this week and I believe that this Thursday is the only Thursday that I don't have anything going on so keep posted!!! Sorry if this ended up a bit random, I have been super sleep deprived lately (can't get comfortable and when I do I wake up to go to the bathroom.....again). Happy December!!!

This is the point at which I get jealous of you. The girls were born at 33 weeks. Go you!
