Emily Update

This past Wednesday, Shawn and I got to see Emily one last time before she arrives!  My belly had been measuring small at my last few appointments, so the dr. scheduled an ultrasound just to make sure everything was okay.  Turns out Emily is doing great!  It's just the position that she's in that's making my belly measure small.  As of Wednesday, she weighed approximately 4 lbs, 11 oz, which is in the 56% for being 33 weeks.  So she's right on track to be average size at birth, between 7 - 7.5 lbs.  She's still moving quite often in my tummy.  I love feeling her move!  It's a little bit of reassurance to me that everything is okay.  I almost can't remember what it's like to not look down at my stomach and see it moving.

On another note, Shawn and I attended 2 more childbirth classes.  Our fourth class we learned all about C-Sections (something I still am hoping I don't have to have) and we took the very exciting tour of the hospital.  I think seeing where Emily would be delivered was a big reality check for Shawn and I.  While we are both  very excited about her arrival, we can't help but be a little nervous at the same time.  Only 6 1/2 more weeks before her due date!  In our class this week, we learned about baby care and what to expect when Emily arrives.  I think this was a very helpful class.  We found out when we should call the pediatrician and when not to worry.  We also learned how to care for her within the first few weeks of her arrival.  Only 2 more classes to go!

Now for a bit of a nursery update.  Emily's furniture has arrived in Dallas!  Thanks again Steph and Luke for hunting it down for us!  Shawn is hoping to be able to pick it up today.  Her bedding should be in by the end of next week.  Now I can finally start decorating her room!  I'll post pictures as soon as it's all done!
