33 Week Appointment

I had a doctors appointment on Monday and I am happy to announce that everything looked good with both the Baby and I.  I had another sonogram to check out my cervical length so we got to take a peak at the little one.  I was kind of disappointed because we didn't get as good of a look as we did last month.  The tech said that is because she is getting bigger and there isn't as much room for her to move around and she is getting more smooshed when you do see her on the screen.  I am also pretty much out of the woods as far as bedrest is concerned with this pregnancy.  So that is definitely good news.  I have been so nervous during this entire pregnancy that I kept saying that I am definitely only having 2 kids because I didn't want to go through all of the worrying again, but now that everything has been checking out really well I will definitely consider having another one.  But we will just take it one kid at a time for the time being.  
I must admit that I am starting to get a little nervous as to whether or not I will have everything ready by the time she gets here.  The room is painted, but I still have to organize the closet and put away her clothes in her dresser and closet.  I also still need to buy some hair accessories for our little girl.  Thankfully I have a friend that makes children's stuff (hair accessories, tutus, little boys shirts with a tie sewn onto them, etc....) so I just have to send her some pictures of what I want and she will make them.  Check out her facebook page at sugar baby couture. 
I was feeling pretty good during this last home stretch of this pregnancy, until I caught this terrible cold.  I have been battling this darn thing since last Saturday, I probably should have stayed home on Friday, but I really didn't feel like using a sick day.  So this weekend I have been doing a lot of laying around and sleeping quite a bit.  Thank goodness Nick has been home to keep Jack occupied.  And finally this morning I broke down and took a trip to the Fast Care clinic at Wal-Mart.  And there wasn't really anything that I could do except to just let it run its' course.  Which I was actually happy to hear that news because for how bad I was feeling I thought for sure I had to have pneumonia or bronchitis or something like that.  So as soon as I am healthy and feeling like myself I am forcing myself to get everything ready for this little bambino's arrival.
