Well, it was my last visit with my specialist today. So that probably means that was the last ultrasound I'll get until I meet my baby boy. :o( He was being mean and not letting us see his face again. He had one arm across his face the other one was up by his forehead. So I guess he's nice and comfortable in that position, what can ya do? Doc said to come off the meds at either 35 or 36 weeks, which ever I'm more comfortable with. My body needs to experience the "practice" contractions, but there's no telling how long it'll be before the "practice" will become the "real" contractions. So he said make sure I have my hospital bags packed when I quit taking the meds. My cervix was good, and he said at this point that it will start shortening on its own because this is the time when it SHOULD be doing that. I'm pretty excited. I think I'll wait until 36 weeks to come off the meds though. We haven't even done anything in the nursery yet...
It's going to be a busy rest of the week... Tomorrow I'll be working on baby shower favors. We got candy molds and we're making baby themed lolli-pops. (Carriages, rattles, diaper pins, etc.) I'll also be tying the necklaces on the candy pacifiers. I ran out of ribbon, so I need to run back to Hobby Lobby and get some more. Tomorrow night is our Childbirth Education class at the hospital. Bobby and I registered for it about a month ago, it's from 6pm-9pm. I'm hoping to learn a lot, since my only labor and delivery experience to date is watching "A Baby Story" and "Bringing Home Baby" on TLC, lol. Friday I plan to get everything for the baby shower packed up and ready to go. I'm pretty excited about it, I hope we have a good turn out. Saturday Bobby's aunt and cousin is coming over in the morning to do a maternity photoshoot. I'm really excited about that too! They did another girl in the family while she was pregnant and they came out beautifully. I've been on google images trying to find some fun poses. I hope mine come out good too. I may have to photoshop out some stretch marks and cellulite though, lol!!

we did not take any maternity classes. It was funny, we went for the tour which we had to do 6 weeks before and they said okay see you in 6 weeks! And we were there the next morning!
