30 weeks

So great to have another good doctor's appointment.  I truly enjoy going to my doctors (and not just because I get to leave the house) because they are amazingly nice people. 

Saw Dr. Roque at maternal fetal medicine first.  He is the attending doctor who did my cerclage.  He, and Dr. Lim, both seem so smart to me.  I think it's the fact that they are Beth Israel doctors.  All the people in the maternal fetal medicine dept at Winchester Hospital are super friendly.  I have an appt on the 22nd and I will def be bringing coffee and muffins or something for them.  Maybe I'll make cookies.  We didn't get a baby pic today b/c Emma is face down facing my back and of course would not cooperate for a picture.  She is weighing in at a healthy 4lbs 1oz.  And my cervix is holding steady.  Yay cerclage!   

Dr. Roque wants me to be on my feet for 15 minutes of every hour to start rebuilding my stamina.  Right now if I am on my feet too long I am exhausted, nauseas, and light headed.  So frustrating!  And I'm afraid to drive.  But he also said I could go to the mall or a store in a wheelchair!  So of course after our appt we went to Target to pick up a rug and curtains for the baby's room.  I think everything is about done in there now!  Of course after my dr appt (to which I go in the wheelchair) and walking into Target by the time we got to the check out line I had to go sit back in the car.  I have my next appt in 2 weeks.

Then we went to an appt at Dr. Cole's.  She is so nice, too!  She said I looked fantastic and the baby looks great and she is impressed at how well I am handling bedrest.  I have my next appt in 3 weeks and then 2 weeks after that and then I think the following appt will be to get my cerclage removed!  When I think of it in those terms I can't believe we are so close to meeting our little girl! 

This weekend my goal is to fold and put away Emma's clothes (thanks to everyone who has sent us beautiful hand me downs--Emma is going to be much more well dressed than her mother).  Tomorrow we are going to go get a Christmas tree and hopefully Paul will install our new shower door and closet doors in our bedroom. 

I just am so excited to meet our little Emma!  She was doing gymnastics last night and Paul got quite the show.  She kept kicking and stretching right under his hand.  He does admit at this point it's a little freaky b/c it's not just a quick kick it's a prolonged yoga stretch. 

Will post nursery pics soon!
