We had our final Peri appointment yesterday.  All the nurses were so sweet and excited that we made it basically to the end.  New Baby is still doing great.  My fluid is elevated again and grew 3-4 cm from last Friday but not high enough to take immediate action.

This past weekend we wrapped up just about everything that we wanted to get done before New Baby's arrival.  The pack n' play is setup in our room, all the blankets/clothes/bedding is washed, bottles and pumping supplies are washed and put away, house is clean, bags are packed.  Ready as we are going to be!

Bryce's parents arrive mid-day on Friday and will be here for a week.  My Dad arrives after they leave and will also be here for a week.  Thankful for plenty of help and support.

Tomorrow is my last day of week for the rest of the year.  Wahoo!

We are officially 1 week into uncharted pregnancy territory!  Only 3 days to go!
