Today is Philip's birthday. We've just returned from a lovely dinner out to celebrate. On our doorstep, we found a large box full of the cutest newborn baby clothes from our friend in Nevada! Again, we feel so fortunate to have so many people who are willing to pass along and share their things with us. We were both in awe as we looked at how tiny he will be as a newborn.
As I am typing I am getting a nice constant kick right in the ribs. That would make sense as it is usually around the time I settle down for the evening that our little guy wakes up and starts moving around.
The week began with a trip to the doctor on Monday. All looks great. I measure 29 cm. from top of the uterus to the pelvis and it is a "perfect match" as the doctor described. We're in the 29 1/2 week and the measurement should match the week at this point. Everything looks great and we seem to be right on schedule. We plan for 2 weeks to relax and then the bi-weekly appointments begin at the beginning of December. That'll be how it will go until the due date since we fit in that high risk category and need to be carefully monitored. Fortunately, I only have to drive to the UW Medical Center in Seattle for one appointment each week and the other can be in the Issaquah clinic.
This weekend Philip will be putting a finishing coat of blue paint in the baby's room and we'll finally get the crib put together. We're really going to start focusing on getting the place set up for a baby. Next week we head south to the farm for Thanksgiving and are looking forward to catching up with everyone there!
Philip says his 34th year is bound to be the best yet!
