Week 34

So, week 34! At least I think it's week 34... that's how I count it when I'm 33w2d pregnant. This is the 34th week. I had an appointment with my OB on Tuesday and I am still measuring right on track. Blood pressure is good and weight is good. Nothing too exciting, but that's apparently exactly what you want when you're pregnant. I go back in 2 weeks and then start my weekly appointments.

I asked Dr. A how far along I need to be before they would not try to stop the labor and she said at about 34 weeks they would only try minor things such as hydration and a few meds, but they wouldn't use any of the more aggressive meds to try to stop it at that point.

I also asked how far they'd let me go before inducing, and she said that if I make it to my due date she'll just look for a date that she is on call the following week and they would schedule me for that day. So, it looks like 41 weeks is the max that I'll go. That means we have at most 8 weeks left before I get to meet our little guy! How exciting!

My family threw a baby shower for me this weekend and it was great. It is always fun to get together with my extended family and eat good food and share stories. Anyway, we got some great stuff for the baby. Here is a picture of me with the hostesses (my cousins):


MrKLB's parents were in town, too, so his mother came to the shower. Here is a picture of me with my mother and MrKLB's mother.


And here is a picture of me with my adorable and delicious cake!


Next Monday is Memorial Day so we have a 3-day weekend! I am really excited because MrKLB and I are planning to stay in town and hang out and do a lot of nothing! We're actually going to see my niece for her birthday on Saturday and to a cookout on Sunday, so that should be fun. Other than that we're going to watch a lot of TV shows and movies and relax. We've only got a handful of lazy weekends left before the baby arrives so we're going to take advantage of it while we can!
