We are in the home stretch of babies arrival and I think we're starting to finally feel a tiny bit more prepared. I had a doctor appointment yesterday and found out my blood pressure and everything is great! The only issue was when he was feeling my belly he thinks baby could be breeched now. She may still flip head down but I will need a ultra sound in 2 weeks to confirm she is head up! I have been having really bad pains under my ribs and trouble breathing which may explain her new position! I am really trying to avoid a c-section because Brandon can only take one week off work :( My mom and sister were able to help me out of bed and help me with the house work and cooking which was so helpful! Not having my mom this time around is going to be pretty difficult on me. I know I am going to be a little more prone to post pardon depression because of not having her so I am really praying that everything goes smoothly with delivery. I am thankful though that Brandon's family will be here the first two weeks she is born to help with Mace face. He will have so much fun with them.
Brandon had a 4 day weekend which was so nice! We were able to start babies room, take Mason to his favorite spots (library, bounce, playing in leaves, etc) and relax! My sister had a last minute diaper party before babies arrival so we swung up to Midland for a few hours to celebrate with them. I think getting invited to parties is one of my favorite things about being back in MI! We missed out on so many parties living in Arizona I feel like I am finally catching up on them now! It is also nice being able to drive only an hour to visit a family member. Mason seems to do great with the short drives it's just the long ones we're still working on with him.
The next few weeks are going to be pretty uneventful around here. Brandon doesn't get much time off work around the holidays so we will be spending Thanksgiving and Christmas at the house. Normally I hate being a home body but this year I am kind of excited for it. Last year we traveled a TON! Not to mention we spent Christmas Eve lifting boxes into our new home and Christmas day unpacking ha. I want Mason to have a relaxing week before babies arrival too so the less craziness going on the better :)
Say a little prayer that baby flips back into a good position and all goes well for her arrival! I am literally scared out of my mind this time around. I didn't realize not having my mom for this experience would make me so on edge. Have a great week!
