11 Days and Counting!

11 days to go and counting! Baby Mathews has been agreeable lately and has passed all of his/her recent tests, so (fingers crossed) he/she will hopefully make it to the 17th. Yesterday I had three different appointments, and at this point there is still enough fluid for the baby to stay in the womb for a couple more weeks. The doctors were concerned about a lack of fluid in earlier visits. The Non-stress test went well too - we definitely have an active one. So, unless the baby decides otherwise, we are all set for another week until our last set of appointments before the baby's arrival.

Robby caught a virus & maintains a slight fever (we're working on a week now). His hacking cough is enough to bring you to tears as he gasps for air at night from coughing so bad. All the doctors can give him though is Claritin & Benedryl. He's been a good sport about it, but you can tell he doesn't feel like himself.

On to construction news - Robby's room will receive its final coat of paint today - yeah! Then everything can be put back into it. The new doors & windows look great now that the painter is done. We begin ripping out kitchen cupboards today - another reason to hope the baby doesn't arrive for a few more weeks.
