33 weeks

First of all, let me say that my shower on Sunday was also very nice. I plan to post some pictures from it and a picture of all of Maxton's nice new things. He is going to be so spoiled. It is funny, before I found out I was pregnant I talked with my parents about what type of parent I wanted to be. My family is pretty overweight and I had decided that I didn't want Maxton to eat a lot of junk food. I also didn't want his grandparents to buy him anything and everything without checking with us first. Small gifts are okay, I just didn't want us to tell him he can't get something and then grandma show up with it the next day. Anyways, now I am like- Maxton can have whatever he wants :-) but more importantly, from reading other CDH blogs, Maxton can eat anything he wants to!!! Most CDH babies have trouble with feeding so I am thinking if I can get Max to eat it then he can have it. :-)

Today I went for a BPP. It went well. Maxton was practice breathing and as the tech said "he is breathing away". I hope that this is a good sign for things to come. The first thing she scanned was his head, then she scanned his hand. Little Max gave us the "thumbs up" again. I swear, he is trying to tell me not to worry and that he will be okay. He wiggled around alot today. I am hoping that he is able to stay still on Monday when we have our MRI. The big news from today was that Maxton has gained 1.2 lbs. He now weighs in a 6.2 pounds. He really is my little Hoss (who isn't so little) :-). My fluid is creeping back up and was 26 today. I figured it was going up because my tummy has been more sore this week. Hopefully it will go back down over the weekend. I have the MRI monday, then a BPP and doctor appt. on Tuesday. Anyways, thanks for praying for little Maxton. I feel strong for him. I have started to want to nest, even though we have decided not to fully do a nursery yet (we are hoping to move and would like to not have to move a bunch of baby furniture). I have been looking at furniture and wanting to buy it but my husband still thinks we should wait. I agree, but want my baby's room to be all cute and ready for him when he comes home. He will have a bassinet ready for him and I guess that is good enough. :-) Plus, I have plenty of clothes and things to wash to nest. :-) Hope everyone has a good weekend!
