Today you are 31 weeks 5 days… the anticipation of your arrival is starting to become more and more of a reality. Your dad and I have been doing a lot to prepare for your arrival. Your room is painted a beautiful lilac, your crib skirt is almost complete, we have your cornice board made it just needs upholstered and your dad is working on a tree decal for your wall. I have been eyeing some cute wall prints on Etsy that I just ordered today. I hope we have it all together before your arrival… however your dad reminds me that either way it will not matter, since you will be staying in our room for awhile. The other day I washed all of your clothes and hung them up. They are so small, it was challenging fitting some of them on hangers, those items were folded.
Your 31 week appointment was Wednesday, per the doctor everything is going well and your little heartbeat sounds great. The whooshing sound of your heartbeat is so comforting to hear. The weeks just seem to be flying by, I can’t believe in 9 weeks you will be in our arms. I can’t help thinking of our first ultrasound at 9 weeks, you were just a little peanut it seems like it was just yesterday. I can’t wait to meet you, I often time catch myself wondering… will you have brown hair or blonde hair, what color will your eyes be, will you look more like your mom or your dad or both.
Next weekend is our first baby shower… you are so loved that you actually get two showers held in your honor. The first one is at our house with family from mommy’s side and friends. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating you.
Yesterday your dad and I attended a birthing class, we learned some helpful information to help us through the delivery process. I don't think a class can ever prepare you for the journey of life, but at least it was informative.
This morning we will be going to Easter service at church and this afternoon we will be going over to Grandma and Grandpa Forster's to celebrate Easter with the family.
Every day is such a blessing,
Xoxoxo... Mommy
