Today we have reached 33 weeks. Things have been pretty hectic around here this last week, and it appears our little boy is already quite the trouble maker. On Wednesday I went to OB triage to be monitored because he hadn't moved much all day. This was very unusual for him, he is usually pretty active. After being on the monitors for awhile, and being sent for a biophysical profile, we learned that my fluid levels were a little low, and even though Luca was still being lazy his heart rate was great and he passed the test. They had me come back in on Friday for a non-stress test and to check my fluid levels again. So, after drinking ridiculous amounts of water on Thursday, they determined my levels had gone up to an 11 (most likely the first measurements were off because of his position, because normally fluid levels don't go back up once they have dropped). I left feeling like I could relax a little and hopefully get through the last week of school. So now we wait to see my doctor on Wednesday. I still have this nagging feeling that he is going to be arriving earlier than planned, but I am praying that he can hang in there another 3 or 4 weeks at least so he can grow a little bigger and stronger. I will be so relieved when he is finally here and I can see him and know he is okay.
On a lighter note, here are some of our maternity pictures from Papago Park last weekend. We love them! And we hardly paid anything for them after finding a great photographer on Craig's List that is just trying to get their photography business going. Enjoy:)
