We are 36 weeks today!!!! Baby Tres is doing great! She appears to be comfy and cozy. For the past few weeks I've had weekly Non-Stress Tests and her heart rate looks great! Her water levels are great too. As of last week, she has continued to stay head down the whole time, which makes life easier. I really think she's going to be an easy-going, go-with-the-flow kind of girl!
As for this mama, I'm not much of a complainer, but I'm sort of ready to meet this little girl! I've been able to keep going to work everyday, but when you imagine what type of jobs it would be hard to do when pregnant, preschool teacher has to be at the top of the list. Constantly sitting on the floor, having kids climb in your lap, having to squat down to help kids, tie their shoes, dance around, etc....I can't imagine what a better teacher I will be when I'm not pregnant anymore! Not to mention I have this really fun side effect of pregnancy called Pregnancy Carpal Tunnel. It's so odd...when I wake up, my hands are completely numb. Some days the feeling comes back in my hands, but more days than not, my hands stay numb the whole day. And using scissors, crayons, etc (hello, I teach preschool) make it worse. Not complaining, just informing....But I'm happy that this little girl has let me keep on working without complications. I am thinking hoping this is my last week of work. Next week we have parent teacher conferences and then the rest of the week off for Thanksgiving. I am really really hoping to meet her sometime next week!!!!
Abigail and Caitlin are ready (we think) to meet their baby sister. This weekend was our big "get ready" weekend. We washed all her clothes and filled her drawers. We got the bottles ready (just in case), blankets ready, diapers ready, etc. We packed bags for everyone just in case (hospital bag for mom and dad and baby, stay over bags for girls, hospital bags for girls to keep busy). The crib is up (and apparently it's SO FUN to be in the crib when it's not your crib...so we are constantly finding the girls in there). I've turned in all my plans, work, etc through January at work.
All we need is one little girl!!!! We can not wait to meet her and have our whole family together for the holiday season!!!!! I know I could potentially have another month, but I don't think so....I'm really hoping any day now! We have another dr appt today so we'll see what he says.....
We are very grateful we made it to 36 weeks with very little intervention needed (just weekly shots)...and can't wait to meet the final piece of our family puzzle!!!!!

* update: we had our 36 week appt last night. Looks like we will most likely meet her sooner than later. sTay posted!
We had our 36 week appt today.
Oh, and just for fun, Rob through a name "kink" in our plan. We had our name set...shirts made, hats made, Xmas presents made, Xmas cards designed...and then this weekend Rob switched the name he likes...and I also like them both too. We've decided to meet her and then decide. So when she's born, if we just call her Baby Girl Wennerstrom for a day or two, don't be too surprised. We want to meet this little girl and then decide what name fits her best!
We are ready whenever you are, Baby Tres!!!!!!!
