7 1/2 Weeks Left

Oh my can you believe it how time flies only 7 1/2 weeks or 52 days however you want to look at it. So anyway I went for my bi-weekly yesterday and I'm happy to report mom and baby girl are doing great, her heart rate was 132 which is good and I have a feeling it has dropped from all the other visits because she just doesn't have the room to move around as much, that being said she definitely lets me know when she's awake because I get jabs and kicks in the same spot over and over. Yesterday I was at my desk and went to bend over to pick something up and she kicked me under my rib, boy that didn't feel good and I told her so. I was pretty happy with my weigh in too as I only gained a 1/2 lb in the past 2 weeks the doctor said going forward that's all I should gain because once you hit the 3rd trimester the only gain should be what your baby is gaining so to celebrate last night I made myself the best milk shake ever. My next appointment is April 9th and then one more 2 week till we start ever week visits. I'm so excited I just can't wait to see our little girl. So yesterday we received all the information on the Strep B Test that I will get done at the end of April, i don't know about most women but the first time I had ever heard of this was when it had effected someone close to my sister in law, so i decided to read up on it, it's very rare when a baby gets this because they usually treat you with antibiotics while your in labor to prevent any infection and they say that 1 out of 200 babies will actually be affected by this if the mother has Strep B I just wanted to share this as I didn't know anything about before that point so maybe someone reading will hear it for the first time also. So this Saturday is my Virginia Baby Shower and I'm so excited to see everyone and have some fun. Katie did a beautiful job on the invitations and also making the arrangements for the party, Erica and Kelly have been working on food and party favors and they're many others that have put a hand in making this a special day, Caesar and I can't wait for it to be here. Thank you ladies for everything. I know I have to post a belly picture my mom keeps asking about it so I will do that within the next 2 days I promise. So Caesar and I experienced a baby consignment sale for the first time last weekend and can i tell you i will never do it again, how do people shop like that I felt rushed and also I was trying to find stuff for a year down the road I can't tell you how hard it is to look at a summer dress for 12 months and say maybe she'll fit into it or what if she doesn't, so I picked up a couple things and of course Caesar was waiting on the side lines going get back in there and pick more stuff out, I gave him the evil eye and he said OK let's go pay. These sales are great for toys, nursery items, or even just misc things you might not think of buying but will at the sale because it's so cheap but in great condition. i might go back once our little one arrives and it will be easier for me to shop for stuff. Well I'm going to sign off for now and will post some pics in a couple days. Love you all
