A BIG THANK YOU to Beetle, Catherine, Dee and Kristie for the baby shower this last weekend! It was so good to have everyone together! Thanks to everyone for all our wonderful gifts! Aubrey will be set! Thanks to Jamie, Mr. Jim and my Dad for all the work at the house. Aubrey's closet is complete!
One of the shifts at work had an ice cream party for me on Tuesday and gave us a very generous gift card to Target! I am so blessed to work with such thoughtful and caring people! They are my NICU family!
We went to the doctor on Monday for a check up and she is doing just fine. Her heart rate was 147. We go back in 2 weeks on the 17th for an ultrasound to make sure she is head down and get a measurement/ weight....they may check to see if I have dilated at all then....then I will start seeing the doctor every week! I can't believe how fast things are going! I tire very easily now and just can't get enough rest it seems, but getting up 4 times a night to pee doesn't help! And Aubrey having hiccups in the middle of the night doesn't help! hahahaha I guess it's mother nature's way of getting me ready! I am having a little trouble with Carpel Tunnel, but I have a brace to sleep in and it will go away after we deliver. No worries!
Here's what's going on this week: she weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. She's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and her skeleton is hardening. The bones in her skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for her to fit through the birth canal. These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as her brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.
