34 weeks & last week's shower

Well, Thursday officially marked the 34 week mark!! :) One of the midwives told us a few weeks ago that at 34 weeks if he were to be born he would no longer need tubes down his through, he would just have some breathing tubes in his nose. So this is an exciting milestone. Next week he would be considered "Late preterm" and at 35 and 36 weeks depending on how developed he would be if he were to be born, and if he had any other issues (such as jaundice) he may or may not spend time in the NICU. Getting closer feels so good!

I had a growth ultrasound this past week and he is measuring well and is right on track. My cervical length shortened again, so I have no clue if that means my body is getting more and more ready.

I was told during my appointment this past week that next week, at 35 weeks they'll take me off of my medication and bedrest. WHAT?!?! So i'll definately be talking to the doctor next week when I go in just to calm some of my fears of not waiting until i'm considered full term. I have no clue if he'll come right away or if he'll wait a little while, because people in my situation are all different.

Okay, enough about that!

I had my hometown shower last weekend and it was awesome!! My sisters through an incredible shower, and went above and beyond to do so. It was a small shower with family and friends, and it was really nice to be able to chat with everyone and catch up. They made the theme to match my nursery, so it was jungle animals and chevron. Everything was decorated SO CUTE, and they made both gluten filled and gluten-free food alike!
Instead of games they had people decorate onesies. Thead fabric and heatbond and people cut out patterns and ironed it onto the onesies. I was SOOOO impressed by how cute they turned out! Turns out these ladies have some craftiness and creativity in them!

It was so cool to be there, because when the Pre-Term Labor issues started, we weren't sure if I'd be allowed to travel.

So here is a 34 week picture, and then some shower pictures.

Enjoy!
