33 weeks

Well I have officially started the "nesting" mode. I just feel so unprepared and it's starting to scare me that she could really arrive at anytime. I wanted to feel a little bit more prepared so I started organizing all of her things this past weekend. We aren't officially going to be decorating a nursery until we have our own place so I bought about 6 plastic drawers to put her things in for now. I washed all of her blankets, socks, and 0-3 month clothes. I didn't realize we had so many! After folding everything I realized she has 16 receiving blankets, 24 pairs of socks, and about 25 onesies! Lets hope she can wear her newborn things at least twice before she grows out of them! The ward we are in is throwing me a shower so I'm hoping if clothes are purchased that we get things in the 3-6 month range. I don't seem to have hardly any things in that age range. It was really fun getting her things ready though. I cannot believe she will be that small! Braden and I just laughed putting things away and it was so fun. I feel a lot more ready and prepared. There are still things left to get, but I don't feel so panicked now! I also had an appointment today. It was with the nurse practitioner because I was actually scheduled yesterday but walked in and was told my doctor had 4 women in labor and an emergency c-section. He hadn't even been in the office since 11 that morning! So I resheduled with the nurse practitioner and she's really nice and knows what she's doing. I'm measuring fine, I've gained 25 lbs to date (according to their scale ha ha), my blood pressure is good and next time they start checking me for dilation! So far Kelsie has been in a transverse position (sideways) so they will be checking to see if she is starting to make the turn next time. If she hasn't then they start discussing a c-section. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed she turns soon. She's just so comfy that way, she hasn't moved at all this entire pregnancy, silly baby. Also this week I rented a fetal doppler. It allows me to listen to her heartbeat everyday. That has been nice because she still moves a lot, but not as forcefully because she's getting bigger and running out of room. It is just reassuring to hear her heart beating away. I just send it back in the mail when I'm done with it! It's amazing the things you can do nowadays! It's funny to listen to her have hiccups with it too! So overall it's been a great week, I'm still tired and swollen, but I'm still pregnant and she's getting healthier. It's really coming fast now!
