Well I had my second shower on Saturday and it was so much fun. My bestfriend and cousin hosted the shower and we had 20+ family and friends there. I got so much stuff it took two vehicles to get it all home. I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life and I can't wait till Jacob gets here.
Yesterday was my 32wk appointment and now I will start seeing my doctor weekly till I deliver. We are also going to be doing weekly Non-Stress Test (NST) starting Monday. What will happen is I will be hooked up to a monitor for 20-30 minutes and we will watch Jacob's movement and monitor his heart rate during the movements. What they look for is an increase in heart rate during the movements and then a decrease back to normal when he is at rest. I was nervous that we are doing something like this so early, but with my blood pressure (BP) issues during this pregnancy, my doctor is being proactive and we just wants to make sure Jacob is happy in the womb. I will update my blog each week now. Other than that, my BP was a little elevated, but my doctor said that is really my normal and she isn't concerned. Everything else looks great!!! Since my DH can't go next week with me for the NST test my mom is going....I really wanted someone there since I don't know what to expect and anything new makes me nervous. After that DH plans to go to as many as he can.
I have my last baby shower, my church is giving, next Sunday and my birthday is Saturday. So this weekend will be a big weekend and I am so excited!! I will update after my appointment Monday with how the weekend and the appointment went.
Today is the first day of the bar exam for DH and I have been praying all morning for him. I know he is ready to get this week behind him. 2009 has been a fun and exciting year for us and we are looking forward to our new son and DH becoming an attorney!!
