Dear Conor,
This week marks our 36th week together and I couldn't be more excited because it means that you are only 4 weeks from making your debut.
In preparation of your arrival I attended a Breast Feeding class on Monday night. I learned quite a bit about the benefits of breast milk and it reaffirmed my commitment to provide you with breast milk as long as I possibly can. I have been doing a lot of research regarding breast pumps and bottles and your Aunt Ana is going to let me borrow her pump for a few weeks until we determine whether or not breast feeding is best for you.
You have been doing a lot of moving this week - its mostly in the morning and late at night. Your movements are a lot stronger which makes me think that you are getting stronger! At our last doctor's appointment they said your heartbeat was very strong and that you were head down. This was confirmed by an ultrasound. Grandma Mary came to this doctor's appointment and was very excited to see you moving on the little screen. You look so much more like a person than you did several weeks ago and you have grown so much! Our next appointment is next Friday and then there will be weekly appointments to ensure that things don't change in the last few weeks.
We are still working at home to get ready for your arrival. My hospital bag is packed and waiting by the door. We have strung the Christmas lights outside and hung the wreaths and put up the tree here in the house. The bathroom shelves are almost done being stained and poly-ed and the linen closet has been cleaned out and reorganized. We have a few things left to do but we are getting there and every step we take brings us one step closer to your arrival!
Now - if only I could get work to slow down a bit so that I could wrap all those duties up :)
xoxo
Mom
