Diario di Mamma Jenn

I'm a little behind in posting Izzie's 2nd birthday, only 3 days late, not bad. We haven't yet celebrated her birthday since we are waiting for my Mom to arrive from the States. Apparently we won't have many attendees because everyone is heading off to the beach and vacation during this time, which I don't blame them. The heat is ferocious and if I could, I myself would be floating in the ocean. Problem is, at this point I might be confused with a whale! :)

My poor Izzie celebrated her 2nd birthday at the birthing clinic where she was born, I am having CTG monitoring done more often now that I'm getting closer to Sophie's EDD. I'm just glad Izzie still doesn't understand birthdays, but I know she's going to enjoy her party. Below is a picture of Izzie while at lunch on her birthday and then at a summer party we attended the day after. Of course I'll be posting pics of her birthday party. Until then...take care!

Playing in the sand!

So today I am at the 37 week mark and I really cannot wait any longer for Sophie to be born. Today I went to the birthing clinic to have fetal monitoring done and I have to return on Friday. I have no idea how many monitoring sessions I will have done this time around, I'm just glad I paid for a package where you can have as many fetal monitorings as needed all in one price. I was told that Sophie is already head down and she's quite low, but that doesn't mean anything. In the end babies come when they think it's right, not when we hope they come. This week and the coming week are busy weeks. Tomorrow is Izzie's 2 year check-up and then on Friday, which is Izzie's birthday, unfortunately we'll be in the birthing clinic. Next week Mom arrives and I'm so excited about that, I can't wait to have her here!! Well, I'm just rambling now and I bet I'm not even making sense, I'm quite tired right now, so I'm off to bed and try to sleep. Nowadays it's kinda hard to sleep with a huge whale belly and just the fact that Sophie moves a lot too.
Good nite and I'll write more next time...who knows, maybe the next time I write it'll be after Sophie is born.
