36 Weeks

Had another ultrasound Monday that showed the bed rest is working! The amniotic fluid has increased which is a good sign, and they will measure the baby in another 2 weeks (they need 3 weeks to see a difference). So it looks like a few more weeks of bed rest for me, and then they might induce at 39 weeks or so.

For now I am trying to be patient, babying myself and trying to eat well and drink as much water as possible, and trying to enjoy this time like everyone keeps telling me, because 'I'll never get it back'...

On Sunday we had a little fun and did a 'professional' maternity photo shoot (DIY style), thought I'd share some of my faves here. I think someone found a new hobby...this is practice for when the little one arrives!

Bed Rest

On Tuesday I had an ultrasound in the morning, and that night I got a call from the doctor saying that the baby's belly measurement is a bit on the small side (still within normal tho) and so they put me on bed rest.

This all came as a shock of course, but I'm realizing this is really baby's way of telling me to just chill out and take care of him or her :) Plus now I can finally read these baby books that have been overwhelming me...

Also my doctor said depending on how things go they might induce me early - so Baby Ferrara may be making his or her debut sooner than we expected!

35 Weeks

This weekend marked not only 35 weeks (5 to go!) but also my 30th birthday, and it was a perfect birthday weekend indeed! On Saturday the girls decided to come to NJ to take me to lunch which was very thoughtful and very much appreciated! (and yummy)

Saturday night we hung out with Cori and Tyler and went to see baby David (and Lauren and Dan too :) which was also very fun.




Then on Sunday afternoon we hopped in the car and drove down to AC where we stayed at the beautiful Borgata hotel. Had a nice surprise (peonies!) waiting for me in the room, courtesy of my dear hubby, followed by a ridiculously delicious dinner and some money lost at the roulette table...
