Less than a month to go


I'm in the final month of pregnancy with little Zaylie Liora. She's been kicking much harder the last two weeks (God bless her!) and when she rolls over my entire belly moves with her. I haven't been getting much rest at night due the frequent restroom breaks, which I hear is preparing me for what is to come with the feedings. :-) My hands have been swelling more which has been causing quite a bit of discomfort, especially when holding something for a while. It's hard to get comfortable at night with this big belly and when I do, it's only until I get up to use the restroom, and the cycle continues.

I will be finishing up the hospital bag packing tomorrow and Justin has installed the car seat in my truck. I would say we're practically ready for her to come any day. I've been "nesting" in her room, going through all the clothing we've received and ensuring it's all washed and ready. I finished setting up her crib today, putting on the mattress pad, bumper and purple sheet. My mom recently ordered us the swing I had on my registry so we'll get that put together soon.

I'm still administering a daily shot in my belly for my blood condition, and my twice-a-week NSTs and weekly doctor appointments are going well, although I'm ready for them to be over with. Last week was the first week in a while that I actually had NO weight gain. Justin and I will have our last baby prep class this week where we'll learn about breathing and pushing. Last week we learned about medical intervention (inducing, cesarean and epidurals) and it was quite informative.

I wanted to thank all of Angela's family and friends for their support and thoughtfulness. We have lots of baby items and things have really come together for us. Ang has really been amazing through this process and she remains a hard worker. I often have to tell her to sit down and relax. She's been eating lots of nutritious foods and staying very positive. I'm really excited to see her holding Zaylie in her arms.
