Here's a look at a few pictures from my work baby shower last Friday morning. It's hard to tell from these pictures, but there were about 30 people there, lots of food, and tons of gifts:
On Saturday afternoon, I had a prenatal massage that your Dad had arranged for me. It was awesome! I was a bit nervous about the whole thing since I am not exactly feeling like myself these days and I wasn't sure what to expect. Heather made me feel totally comfortable and the whole massage was modified to fit my needs. She wasn't a "touchy-feely" massage-person (If that makes sense?), she worked on pressure points and kneaded the muscles in my back/hips. It totally lowered my blood pressure and felt wonderful afterwards. I am really grateful to your Daddy, since it helped release some of the anxiety of the past few weeks. On Monday afternoon, I went in for another NST and meeting with Doctor Davis. You passed the NST, but Doctor Davis is concerned about my swelling. He has decided to put me on 1/2 days at work until you are born. This way, I can work for 4 hours and still be able to rest/put my feet up. It does feel like a relief, but at the same time, my plan was to continue working until you arrived. I will be working from 1-5 in the afternoons. I am sure my boss wasn't too happy, but I need to take of you and myself. On Monday Evening, I attended the second breastfeeding class. We learned about pumping, breast milk storage, and some other guidelines. I am pretty sure that the class has actually made me more nervous about doing this. I am just going to try my best and get help when I need it. All in all, it made me very sad to be planning for returning to work so soon after you arrive.
Love, Mom
