I have had 3 non stress tests so far and the nurses that I have seen are very happy with McKenna's vitals, and mine but I'm more concerned about McKenna. Everything has just been fantastic so far! Dr Prema is still hoping for at least 37 weeks and at this rate we have nothing to worry about. This is the biggest relief EVER.
With the territory, it has been getting more and more difficult to work as much as I had been and I'm sorry if that's an inconvenience to anyone but I just can't push too hard at this point, especially when all is going so great! My perinatologist had previously warned me that once it's noticeable, the damage of pushing my self to far, it's too late and I REFUSE to let this happen. I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful clientele who have been so supportive and understanding!
I'm just so excited to watch the days disappear, they take us another day closer to getting to meet Miss McKenna! How blessed we are, honestly and truly.
James has been actively preparing for McKenna too, he has plans for her coming home outfit and everything. He was even the one to remind me and push me to get a hospital bag ready and he's been having a great time helping me organize the nursery room. As soon as we get things cleaned up and put away I'll post before and after pictures of the room for you all to see. He's been such an angel, so kind and helpful (in his own way haha) I sure picked the perfect partner. He's going to be the greatest dad to little McKenna.
