37 and counting...

We had a fun filled weekend getting Cozmo's room ready! With the help of "Uncle Travis" we got the chair to our house on Saturday...after it not fitting in the Vibe by about 1.5 inches...Michael and the people at Babies R Us tried to will it in there...but it just didn't work!! But we got it and it looks great!! We got lots of little baby cloths washed and ready to go. It is so hard to fold and organize things that you have no idea where it is going to needed the most! We had a lot of fun getting stuff organized to the best of our ability!! The missing parts for the changing table came today in the mail...that is a great relief!!! We just a few more finishing touches to put on the room and get a few more things for when Cozmo comes home and we are set!! Well, as set as we can be for something that we don't know exactly what we are going to need!

We went to the doctor today and our weekly check turned into a four hour adventure. Cozmo was not moving around as much on Monday and Tuesday so we let the doctor know today. They checked us (no movement in the area of moving towards labor since last week) and then hooked us up to a non-stress test machine. Apparently Cozmo's heart rate was dropping every few minutes so they sent us to the hospital for further monitoring. We got hooked up again for more than an hour to make sure that everything was going okay. Cozmo didn't seem to mind as he or she just kicked around why we waited. They wanted to do an ultrasound to make sure that baby was moving around and see the fetal breathing. Everything checked out great and it was so neat to see all the little parts of the baby. We held strong and made sure we looked away when she got close to the little girl or little boy parts! We waited this long and we didn't want to find out a couple weeks before Cozmo came into the world!! She said everything looks great, we could see the hair floating in the amniotic fluid (lots of it she said), we could see little tiny toes and fingers. The ultra sound lady said Cozmo has short little arms! We just can't wait to see what he/she looks like in person! Then she saved the best for last...she got a great shot of Cozmo's face and put it into 3D. We have attached the picture and it is amazing the little tiny eyes, nose and mouth...they look just perfect!! Cozmo has little chubby cheeks!! She estimated Cozmo at 7.5 lbs but it could be off one lb. either way...but at least it is a healthy size.

It was not the best of reasons to go to the hospital but it makes us feel so much better knowing that Cozmo is doing okay in there. It also makes me feel better, I was getting very anxious about baby this week but have realized that it is probably not the case!! We will keep you posted!!
