I'm 29w3d and feeling really good still. I'm hoping this will continue for awhile. My shower is this coming weekend so I'm excited about that! We did a lot of stuff we needed to get done this weekend like: build the dresser, install new lights in the nursery & guest room, install blinds in the nursery & bathroom closet, buy a new shower curtain, pick up glider for nursery, clean the house for guests coming for the shower. Phew!

teachermomtobe,- My shower is this coming weekend too! I can't wait. I hope you have a great time at yours.

I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow. Still feeling so stressed. I had a growth scan on Friday and the baby had grown. She was 1 lb 15 oz 3 weeks before and is now at 2 lbs 11 oz. She's still really small but is growing. The specialist was concerned though because it looked like her stomach had fallen behind some more. She was sending the ultrasound results to my OB and MFM doctors on Friday. I'm assuming I'll hear from them today if they're concerned too. At some point they plan to put me on steroids to boost the baby's lungs since I'll likely have her early. I'm curious to see if they will want to start that now since her stomach is smaller. I really, really want to make it 37 weeks but just not sure that will happen. The baby has been passing the BPP's with 8 out of 8's and passing the NST's. I hope that continues and she can stay in as long as possible so she gets bigger. I have 3 appointments so far this week and hoping they all go well!

Our nursery is pretty much finished. We were told the goal was to get me to 34 weeks but the MFM said she thought it was possible to get to 37/38 weeks if all stayed the same. So we really kicked it into high gear and got the nursery done so everything will be ready whenever the baby comes. I even have my hospital bag packed. I'll try to post some pictures.

Sorry this is in two posts. Couldn't figure out how to edit my first post to add pictures from my phone.

airbear916 beautiful nursery!

I'm 31 weeks and 4 days. I've been feeling pretty good. I've just been super tired. I wasn't this tired in either trimester. Baby is super active, which I love! My baby shower is in two weeks and I'm so excited. Today is our wedding anniversary, so I'm excited about date night tonight!

QOTW: No nursery yet. We are buying a house in July once our lease is up, so there is no since in furnishing a nursery here in our apartment for two months.
