Today, I am 33 weeks and 3 days along...baby girl is getting big and will be here soon! I had a doctor's appt. today and everything looks great so we're just taking everything one day at a time. At my last appt, we did have some concerns. I had had about a week of contractions with a two hour period of regular contractions the night before my appt...a little worrisome. Thankfully, the baby is still "floating" and nothing else has changed so she's tucked inside safely for more time. However, because of this concerning development, I am (attempting) to cut back on some of my 12 hour shifts at work. Being on my feet for 12 hour shifts and for sometimes 3 days in a row has proven to be challenging to the health of my pregnancy. I'm greatful to be working with a wonderful bunch of people who are accomodating to the pregant condition...so what does this mean? Fewer 12 hour shifts, no more than 2 days in a row and working some 8 hour shifts. Mostly. I do still have some stretches of 3 days in a row, but it's better. I'm also no longer doing overtime, which I'd been doing about once every 1-2 weeks until last week. No, I'm not crazy, I just like the paycheck:)All in all, we're progressing nicely, preparing for baby girl's arrival and trying to enjoy our current family of 3!
