Week 35: Last Weekend

The doctor's visit this week went well.  Little K is still firming staying in the head down position, and he continues to be a super shy baby refusing to reveal his cute little face for us again.  However we did manage to get a glimpse of his profile while he was putting a finger into his mouth (how cute!).   Our doctor seemed confident that things are stable enough to delay my admission to the hospital by another week.  I feel like I am crying wolf now this is the third time I claimed this will be my final weekend at home, but then again I should not complain about the progress of the pregnancy going well despite the risk and the fact that we do get to enjoy the comfort of another couple of days being at home as opposed to the hospital.

I am getting another round of steroid shots (the effect of the last ones only last for 2 weeks) to help to mature the baby's lungs again this weekend, and then seeing the doctor again next Tuesday aiming for admission at some point after that.  Then, the final D date.

What should I do for the final weekend?

Maybe those long awaited belly shots with a photographer if I can get someone on such short notice to savour some nicer images of my final gigantic belly of carrying little K around (since the only pictures that mic has taken of me so far are weekly mug shots where I am standing on my side, mostly with my head cut off and just the belly, or a close up of what he suspected to be stretch marks on me -- I feel like I am in the nature program and mic is the photographer "documenting" the animal's behavior!).

Maybe it will just be like any other weekend in the last ten years, a lazy Sunday morning waking up to mic's itunes Sunday playlist and having a late brunch, before the baby's loud scream become our morning wake-up call.
