Week 33: The Nursery is Ready (February 3)

We have finally gotten everything in place for Biscuit, minus the baby monitor, but he will be sleeping upstairs in the cradle at night and downstairs in the pack n play during the day so that can wait.  There are definitely still a few things I want to have, like more than 3 burp cloths, but it is so nice to know that if he were to come today we would be ready.  The car seat is installed properly in the Civic and our suitcase is packed with everything for me, Michael, and Biscuit.

 My doctor appointment on Friday was short and sweet, which was nice because I was a work-in since my earlier appointment had been canceled due to snow.

Standard non stress test and a Q and A session with the doctor, where, of course, all my concerns were answered with, "Yep, that happens." Next week I ramp it up with 2 doctor visits.  One on Tuesday at Rex with the UNC Healthcare Maternal and Fetal Medicine High Risk Specialist to get an ultrasound and see how much Biscuit has grown and make sure he is still thriving in his environment.  The other is another standard non stress test with my regular doctor on Friday.

We are still receiving gifts in the mail and cards with words of encouragement and they really do mean a lot.  They also bring a bit of excitement to a day of monotony during the week.  Thank you so much!
