Yep, I am about done with this. How is there about 5 weeks left?? (tomorrow i'll technically be 35 weeks). I am feeling SO LAZY! I can't seem to do mundane tasks around the house anymore, poor Chris has had to pick up the slack. We did finally get a rocker/glider for the nursery. I love it already. I sometimes grab my coffee and book before work and snag a little "me" time. If you haven't read "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple, I suggest you do. I know talking about books isn't what this blog is all about, that's for the other blog (with the girls - Arianna and Marsha - and we have all agreed we want to get back into it) www.shelfnotes.com. Shameless plug, but if you are interested in some good recommendations, we've reviewed over 400 books and they are searchable by name and rating. Anyways, back to the book I'm reading... it's our next book club pick and I'm enjoying how funny and light it is.
What else? I have definitely had a little cramping, not sure if you'd call it contractions or what not... but they are definitely sporadic, so i am not worried. I went for the first non-stress test Tuesday and she aced it. She was sleeping at first and they gave me some cold water to drink and it perked her right up. I also found out they don't "stimulate" or "shock" her in any way. All they do...is use monitors to record her movement and heartbeat. The nurse gave me a piece of her test strip, I'll post it here. They gave me this button to push when i was "feeling her" and this is reflected on the strip with those "UP" arrows. It definitely coincided with her movement, as you can see.
Thanksgiving is next week. I'm excited to spend the time with the in-laws, even if it's my least favorite holiday to celebrate... yay, massacre of the Natives. I wish people would be more aware and talk about that more. Why can't we just change the holiday to be Thankful for family and get rid of our "pride" for "founding America" because we didn't... we took it. But, I digress. You also didn't come here to read about that!
I guess that's about all I have... baby girl is getting ready to make her debut... I hope we are ready.
