Hello week 33

Well, 5 out of the 6 people I knew that were pregnant have had their babies... One more friend to go then the countdown begins for me. (Not that I haven't started already-7 weeks to go!) 

Today I am 33 weeks pregnant. Monday I had a midwife appointment- all is great as usual, praise The Lord. My hemoglobin count is awesome, blood sugar levels are superb, both baby and my heart rate are great- in fact when we were listening to the baby's my midwife commented on how strong and newborn baby sounding it was! I've got an active strong little one in here! The decision has been made to have the baby at the birthing center and I have been blessed with such a peace and strength about the birth, thank you Jesus :) check out the place at:  lucinacentre.ca   

Other pregnancy things, sleep is not the best, but that is expected with a growing belly and typical Elizabeth. I got some compression socks for being on my feet all day, makes a huge difference. My one armpit is sore, related to a milk thing probably. That's it really, I've had it good so far. I'd like to ask for prayers for all my friends new babies and the one growing inside me. Thanks! 

Love, Elizabeth 

Ps I have been doing lots of sewing and baby craft things too. Working on an animal alphabet right now...pictures coming soon :)

Andrew update- he is working hard and long hours, sometimes out of town like this week, framing work. Like building farm sheds ! A man work!

Productivity

Today was, and still is a productive day.

-I figured out where we are going to have the baby, and got the papers ready for that.
-Went to the bank.
-Figured out my EI and Maternity leave information (its a bit tricky because my residency papers are still being processed)
-Figured out my heath care status for when the baby comes (same trickyness because of residency)
-Caught up to date with my parents.
-Scheduled a pre-natal class.
-Wrote some lists of baby things.
-Got some fabric from Trish (about to sew a blanket for the little one...)
-Made a meat sauce for the potluck we are going to tonight and simultaneously cleaned out the fridge :)
-Andrew mowed the lawn.
-Cleaned the kitchen.
-Went to a garage sale and found an awesome change table and changing pad... $10 :)
...
(Much thanks goes to my mother-in-law because I got out of my house and did my work over at hers and there just seems to be something about going somewhere else that makes me more productive...)

*And this isn't meant to be bragging, I just have been putting off all this stuff and feel very accomplished that its done-therefore wanted to share.
