Since Elsa's birth, we have been actively getting ready for our bundle's arrival.
My Mom and Jim arrived for Halloween and really helped get the house ready and set up for guest/baby room. And the kids have been sharing a room, with bunk beds, for a little over 2 weeks. It has all be going well.
Though towards Halloween, I started to get really anxious and paranoid about when this baby might arrive. I had a doctor's appointment and while she said all was still solidly in place for continuing this pregnant, she said I could do the fetal fibranectin test that I had with Natalie. I decided against doing that just to put my mind at ease, since I wasn't sure if it really would make me relax any more.
I have been having braxton-hicks and back pains so things might be moving in the right direction on it's own, and without my being on bed rest.
On Nov 2 I hit 33 weeks gestation and all my anxiety went away, or rather diminished greatly. I think I'm feeling everyday I'm not on bed rest or preterm labor is an added bonus to accomplishing my tasks and not disrupting our family's schedule. However, I really can't imagine being pregnant for 7 more weeks, let along through the end of November . . . I guess we have to wait and see.
