I have today and Monday off for Presidents' Day, and I couldn't be more happy. I have been so exhausted the past few days! It was so nice to sleep in until 7:30 this morning, (prepregnancy Mandi would have slept until 10). This weekend will give me a chance to get ready for baby shower number two. Technically it's number four, because we had Ruth's last weekend, and both Will and my work threw us one. I thought it was super cute that the women at Will's work through him one. You can tell the difference in the people we work with salaries. My shower at work was wonderful and I got lots and lots of super cute outfits, blankets and toys. At Will's shower they gave him a high chair, the swing, and a little whirlpool baby bath, and lots of cute clothes. They went with a frog theme so all of the clothes and towels are froggie, so cute! We are so blessed to have so many people who care about us.
Yesterday was fun, we had our 34 week doctor's appointment, and we got to have an ultrasound because we switched to a doctor in OC, (so that we could deliver at Mission Hospital). The new doc, who I absolutely love, wanted to have his own check of the heart and other developments. I didn't realize it until we got home, but they didn't give us any pictures to bring home. Such a bummer, there was some really great views of the spine and hands. He was lying on his belly sleeping (he didn't want to wake up, which is not like him at all, he kicks me all day long!). One of the first things the lady told us is that he is a big baby, no surprise there! She made a few other comments, like wow look at that femur! Then we saw the doc and he said the baby was measuring as big as 35 weeks 4 days, not the 34 weeks 3 days that I actually am. He also said he already weighs a little over 6 lbs. I was expecting him to say next that we might want to expect an early, maybe induced labor, but instead he said my cervix is nice and thick, so I shouldn't worry about delivering early. He and my previous doctor both believe that the 8 week ultrasound is the best due date indicator, because the fetus hasn't had a chance to be big for its age. So wish me luck, no horror stories needed, I have my own little nightmare that I replay over and over again in my mind!
