Happy Birthday Aurora!

Last NST Appointment Before Baby
Our fourth NST appointment at the hospital was on Friday. Baby Girl was super-cooperative and we were able to get out of the hospital and over to Fudrucker's for lunch by 10:30a. After lunch, we headed directly home, because we were expecting the delivery of our new washing machine and dryer. Our washer had been going through a slow death over the summer and it finally had its last cycle on Wednesday.
Luckily, we'd already ordered a new washer and dryer over the previous weekend--taking advantage of Labor Day sales. Because Little Sister was so cooperative, we confirmed her good health and accomplished the big todos for the day. She had great NST results and the amniotic fluid measure even more than all the other appointments (9.9). Yay!
Shell arrived on Friday night and this weekend, Daddy, Mommy and Auntie Shell are doing the last minute things to get ready for bringing Baby home. I probably overdid it a little yesterday and I had a couple of contractions that were 15 minutes apart. I rested on the futon and didn't have anymore after those two. As difficult as it is, I'm letting my sister and Matt do all the furniture moving and lifting and vacuuming, etc.
We look good for tomorrow morning, but we're on Yellow alert since I started losing my mucus plug late yesterday. No contractions today, but I'm starting to get hungry for lunch. Next update to this blog will announce the arrival of our baby!

Last OB Appointment Before Baby's Birth Day
Today's OB appointment went well. I didn't gain any weight since the last appointment and my blood pressure was higher than usual, but still within a healthy range.
Baby's heart rate was good. I'm 3cm dilated.
Earlier this week, I started getting an itchy rash along with my new stretch marks. The rash has spread a little on my lower abdomen and my doctor confirmed today that it is PUPPPs. It's an annoying rash that is making it difficult for me to sleep at night, but it's not harmful to me or Baby. It should go away shortly after delivery, so the only thing to do now is try to cope with the itchiness over the next few days. Wish me luck!

Third NST Appointment
This morning's NST appointment at the hospital went very well and very quickly. We were done with the testing in a record (for us) 30 minutes. Baby was cooperative, waking up for just enough kicks to establish a good increase in her heart rate then back to napping so that we could get a good baseline.
The ultrasound was good, showing an increase in amniotic fluid (near 9). We're on track for September 10. Our next NST appointment is on Friday morning.
