33 weeks!

I am losing my mind I swear! These last few weeks have been just as hectic as I thought they would be! Last weekend was my shower with my VA loves! It was great and once again we got a lot of great things! This week at school I had finals and yesterday was my last day of school until April 4th. I was a little disappointed that I have to wait so long to go back but then I realized that will just give me more time with my sweet baby! Also yesterday my ladies from school threw me a surprise shower! It was so unexpected and very sweet! Tomorrow morning we have our childbirth class from 9-1 and then probably around the time thats over Shawns parents will be here for a week! Then the week after is Christmas! Where has the time gone? Im probably going to be a big ball of emotion since this will be my first year away from home for Christmas.. ever. Lauren and Adam are coming up the 23rd and speding the night and having Christmas Eve breakfast with us. Im so excited. She finds out the 17th whether my Godbaby is a boy or girl! I think that we are going to have Shawns marines that arent able to make it home for Christmas come and have Christmas dinner with us. At first I didnt want that but then I remembered the reason for the season and am actually excited to have the young marines come and eat..its probably their first time away from their families for the Holiday too.
OH and I went to the doctor Friday.. everything is still looking perfect.. my placenta moved a centimeter. Originally I was at 1.4 cm, now Im at 2.4 cm. She said they would like me to be at 3 to avoid a c-section but to plan on doing a natural birth.. because we still have time for it to move that last little bit. Like I said before.. either way Im not worried. There are pros and cons to both and as long as Delaney is healthy and Im healthy Im not worried. They know what theyre doing and its in the Lords hands!
And also please keep a friend of mine in your prayers. She is exactly 2 weeks behind me and last week week they had a bad scare. Her placenta tore and she started having back to back contractions. The doctors were able to stop them and both she and the baby are doing fine now! They are saying he may come early now, so just keep them in your prayers please!
