Dear Baby Bean-
Hi there little one! As promised we had a very busy weekend and it is now Tuesday which means that I have a lot to fill you in on. I'm going to have to do an abbreviated version because it is now Tuesday night and it's been a long day.
This weekend was full of fun stuff for us to attend. On Saturday morning we went to your soon-to-be cousin Matilda's baby shower which was super fun. Matilda is due to arrive two weeks after you are due and we are going to have so much fun getting together with her over the holidays and at birthday parties. The shower was very nice and Matilda got a lot of nice things. After the shower, we headed over to Clark's first birthday party which was awesome! It was a "Little Gentleman" theme and everything was so cute. Clark got a BUNCH of awesome toys and clothes and had a good time eating his smash cake. Your sister had a great time at both parties and came home exhausted.
Unfortunately, Sunday didn't start off too well. I woke up with some terrible pains in my stomach that had been there the day before but got worse overnight. I was really worried that something may be wrong with you, so Daddy took me to the hospital to be monitored. Everything turned out to be OK, I just have an infection that I now have medicine for and hopefully I will start to feel a little better in a couple of days. The rest of Sunday was spent relaxing- Daddy took Tenley to a party and I caught up on some sleep.
Yesterday was a very nice day. The weather is finally starting to warm up, so Tenley and I met Becky, Finn, Gus, and Genevieve at the park to play. Your sister LOVES the park and I know she can't wait to have a playmate there with her. You will be big enough to go to the park before we know it! After the park, we ran to Target then it was home for lunch and a nap. Once Tenley woke up, Daddy came home and took us all to a Cubs game! It was so much fun and it was your first official time at Wrigley Field :) Expect many more times to come in the future!
Today was another nice weather day. Tenley and I met Becky, Finn, Gus, and Genevieve at Wicker Park and we played for a good long time. Afterwards, we ran to Mommy's school to visit our friends there and drop off a gift. We were there for quite a while, so when we were done we came home and had a picnic lunch outside. After lunch, Tenley went down for a nap and Grandma Carol came over to watch her so that I could go to the doctor and see you!
Today was your first biophysical profile which is an ultrasound that measures the amniotic fluid around you, your movement, your "practice breathing," and one other thing that I can't remember. Each of the four categories is scored by 2 points, so you have to have a total of 8 to pass. The tech said that you passed today although he had to wake you up with some noise to get you to move. We will get to see you again at our next profile next Tuesday. I am so happy that you are being monitored closely and it surprised me that you weren't moving- you ALWAYS move around like crazy. The tech said you were, "very obviously in the middle of a sleep cycle" so I'm sorry we had to disturb your precious sleep. You just keep growing and moving in there- I love feeling every kick!
I love you so much Bean- I will definitely talk to you soon :)
