Hello!
News:
My sister gave me a lovely baby shower last weekend, full of family (a surprise visit from my dear Grandma from FL) and friends (Rachel & Mike came from Philly!), delicious food, and generous gifts. I had a wonderful time and will hopefully post some pictures of it soon.
We found out today that the adoption finalization will be on February 11, at 2pm! We are so excited and overjoyed and grateful that it is farther away from my due date then we thought it would be. Unfortunately, my parents are flying back from Florida that day, so they won't be able to be there, but anyone who wants to attend the ceremony is more than welcome!!
I had my 34 week check up today and my little girl is very healthy, as am I. I have only gained 11 pounds and my blood pressure remains low, and I've had very little swelling in my legs and hands. My next check up is on Feb 7th, and then after that I start going every week, which is slightly scary and thrilling at the same time! This baby is coming soon and we must finish preparing for her arrival! It's my intention to have a drug-free delivery, but there is a good chance I will be induced, so I will be able to make sure my beloved doctor is there to deliver baby. I'm not opposed to induction medication, but it's my hope I can make it through labor and delivery without any pain medication. If I can't, it's okay, but I am going to try as long as I can to stay medication free.
We are doing our best to ready the house for her arrival --- there are still some things we need to get, like the carseat/stroller, changing table, etc, but I'm trying not to stress about anything! I know we'll get it all done.
More later,
xoxo.
