2 Weeks Down...? To Go
We're almost to 37 weeks! This will be a huge milestone for us, because delivering preterm would have meant even more complications. Still, we want to get as many more days or weeks in as possible for maximum lung development and weight gain. This has been a pretty easy week, so hopefully we can go one or two more. The baby should weigh almost 6 lbs now if growth is still average. We most likely will not have another estimated fetal weight measurement done before delivery, so it's really anyone's guess as to how much the baby will weigh when he/she is born. We've started talking about ordering some furniture for the nursery this week, since it takes about 6 weeks to get it in. This is really the first thing we've done to prepare for the baby's arrival. We decided not to get a nursery ready or have any baby showers until after the baby is born, so I'm excited to finally get to do some of these things! We have another BPP at the perinate's office and then another OB appointment to follow tomorrow morning, so I'll post the update as soon as I get home.

Good luck on everything. My daughter and husband just went through all that you are doing right now. Check out Clearlyrandom.com for Sabrina's story. I hope that you have the same course as Sabrina's and Liviana's. I, too, was an Ob nurse (now retired) so I knew too much, but not enough. I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Keep the faith, and hang in there.
