The last two weeks have been really great. We are officially going to the doctor "weekly" now which is kind of crazy. I have imagined getting to this point but now that it's finally here, it's a little surreal!
I went last Monday to the doctor for the 35 week check up and Baby Shelor's heart beat was 160 - strong and fast! I went at a time when I didn't think the baby would be moving a lot or real real active but of course, baby S was moving around which I do think affects the rate of the heartbeat. We haven't had a heart rate below 150 - which *typically* is a sign for a girl but my doctor says I'm carrying more like a boy! So crazy. My dr.'s nurse said this baby was going to be walking before it's crawling because he/she moves so much! Sometimes it looks like a little alien has taken over my stomach - the movements are wild!
We go back on Wednesday the 22nd for our last ultra sound and to see if the baby has moved down yet. It has been so long since our last ultra sound! I can't wait to see the little boo bear again! Definitely will post a video/picture on the next blog.
Lenny went to New Orleans for business and he had a great time. He had never been before and wants us to go back together some day. The American Rental Association put on a trade show and Lenny got to find product for our company and take classes, etc. He really enjoyed himself! He brought back a little surprise for the baby. What a sweet daddy!
I got up early Saturday morning and met one of my best gal pals, Aundrea, to go to the "Charlotte Mom's of Multiples" consignment sale! It was amazing and overwhelming! They had EVERYTHING. Clothes, toys, books, strollers, high chairs, nursing gear, diaper genies, toilets, bikes, pack n plays -- everything!! Most all the clothes were gender specific so I picked up a few pieces in each gender because they were adorable and I couldn't pass it up. I saw women who had bins and bins and bags full of stuff. It was quite a new thing for me but I can see why women loooove consignment sales! Everything is so cheap!! here's a little sneak peak of my finds.
Lenny and I also got to go see one of our favorite comedians perform. His name is Jim Gaffigan and I had tissues soaked with tears from laughing so hard. The first part of his act was all about family (he's just had his 4th child). I bought the tickets back in November when they went on sale and I remember the day I bought them that I thought to myself "Wow -- February seems so far away and I will be so close to having the baby. I wonder how I'll feel. This could be one of our last big date nights out". And it just came and went too quickly! Lenny assured me though that there will be many more date nights out before the baby gets here. Phew!
So many people have been asking about the nursery and wanting to see pictures. The nursery is not nearly finished yet but we have gotten things set up. I still have to get art work (waiting till baby S is born because I want to do something with a monogram behind the crib) and I still need to get a rocker and light fixture, etc etc blah blah it's never ending! But here are the "bare bones" of the room thus far!
Better pictures will be on their way! It's just taking a little longer to "nest" then I would have hoped for! It will get there.
Until next time!
xoxo,
Sara
