35w0d: I had my weekly biophysical profile ultrasound today and everything went well. I got to see great shots of her in 4D, which is always a treat! Was given my second to last progesterone shot as well. I was so exhausted after poor sleep this week and the 50mgs of benedryl that it was super lucky that Matt drove Eva and I home because I completely passed out in the car!
35w1d: Eva was born on 35w1d, so this is a milestone day! Eva went to a friend's house for dinner so Matt and I could go on a date--our last date for awhile I am sure! I wasn't the sexiest date though as I totally peed myself at one point! Luckily it was dark in the restaurant so you couldn't obviously see the wet spot on my pants! I cheated/treated myself to dessert after a high protein/fiber meal and we got chocolate cake. It was amazing AND my numbers still came in under!
35w2d: I am officially more pregnant than I have ever been! :-)
35w3d: I went to a friend's baby sprinkle today. She is due just a week after I am! There were tons of pregnant women at this shower, but I am the one on deck to have the baby first! That's an exciting place to be!
35w4d: It was unseasonably warm and gorgeous today! Eva actually said she didn't want to go to dance class because she wanted to play outside instead. Once we got to dance, however, she was super happy to be there as always.
35w5d: We got some baby gear items assembled today, which made me feel good to be able to cross at least something off of our to-do list! I went to class tonight and had to tell my students that if I go into labor at this point, they will not see me again this semester! I guess I really need to catch up on grading!
35w6d: I had my regular OB appointment today. Baby's heartrate and my belly measurements were all great. I am still about 1cm dilated, maybe a little more, but not enough to say 2cm.

34 Weeks
34w0d: Happy November and happy mommy for reaching her goal of 34 weeks!! I had my BPP and shot today. Grandma got to see the baby during the ultrasound, which was a special treat for her and then she drove me home to take my post-shot coma nap!
34w1d: Eva had her school Halloween parade and party today. She was very weirded out and uncomfortable about seeing her teacher and her friends all in costume. She eventually settled in, but it took her an hour to do so!
34w2d: Grammy came out to play with Eva while Matt and I did some Christmas shopping. We got everything but a few stocking gifts for Eva from Santa and a few things for some other people on our shopping list. While at Home Goods, I suddenly started to trickle and became concerned that my water had broken. We went home to let me rest. Later, Matt's brother and his fiance came over to watch the Irish and I ended up having to be so rude to go lie down because I was getting really strong and regular contractions that came with lots of nausea as well. They did eventually stop and there was no further trickles or gushes of fluid so I am still pregnant, but I definitely was thinking it was go time for awhile there!
34w3d: We crossed of a big "to do" off the before the baby comes list today by going to tag this year's Christmas tree. Eva was very excited to choose her sister's first Christmas tree! It was FREEZING!!
34w4d: It was "bring a friend" week at Eva's dance studio so she brought one of her friends and was so proud to introduce her to her teacher!
34w5d: Election Day! I took Eva with me to vote at the township building and the A-L line was 2.5 hours long! M-Z was in and out in 35 minutes, thankfully! Eva was very disappointed though because she was under the impression we were going to choose our new "presents" not "president"!
34w6d: I had a regular OB appointment this morning. She checked me to see if I am dilated at all due to all the contractions I have been having= 1 cm! I told her that the baby has been quiet the last few days, but that I am still feeling her of course. She sent me to get a BPP to be sure that baby was good and that there was no additional need to consider bed rest. The BPP went well, but they still put me on a mini bed rest where I can still go to work, but I am supposed to rest as much as possible while home, which is much easier said than done when you are an at-home-mom of a 3 year old!

33 Weeks
33w0d: Watched a friend's baby this morning. Eva is a great helper, but I am definitely becoming less available to provide baby comfort considering I have a baby in the way of where you would typically cradle a baby! Also had a BPP ultrasound and got my progesterone shot today. BPP went well! Baby girl has been super cooperative with them and does all her movements and her breathing really quickly!
33w1d: Took Eva to her friend's house for a playdate and dinner. Eva is really starting to play with other kids her age cooperatively rather that just playing alongside them, which is so fun to see!
33w2d: Went to get myself and Eva fitted for my brother in law's wedding party this afternoon. Eva was so thrilled to try on the flower girl dresses and although she was shy coming out of the dressing room with each change, she couldn't get enough of herself in the big mirrors as she twirled!! Getting myself sized for a bridesmaid dress was interesting, considering it is hard to predict what size I will be in a month, let alone in June! Eva was devastated to leave without the dress so we went over to Sears for her to pick out a new dress to bring home. Her choice? A velvety Santa dress!
33w3d: Did some work on the nursery today by hanging up some decor and organizing some clothes. Still lots to do! We also prepared for Hurricane Sandy to hit our area by freezing lots of ice bags, doing laundry and running the dishwasher, filling up our cars with gas and taking hot showers!!
33w4d: Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast fiercely! We were very lucky that the worst of it missed us entirely. We never lost power and no trees went through our roof, which was really our main concern about the house. Bigger than that, I know that big storms can send women into labor so I was very nervous that I would be traveling out to the hospital in a Hurricane in preterm labor! Luckily, baby girl made it through safe and snug inside!
33w5d: Everything was closed in the area today for Sandy recovery. Matt was home and we got some things crossed off the baby list, but for the most part, we just caught up on rest and play time with Eva.
33w6d: Happy Halloween! Grandma came today to spend the next few days with us. Eva wore her cowgirl costume proudly all day and as soon as her friend arrived to go trick or treating in a princess dress, Eva wanted to change into her Sleeping Beauty costume! She had a great time trick or treating in the neighborhood as a princess wearing cowgirl boots! I stayed behind to give out candy with Grandma because I was contracting regularly.
