32.5 update
Wellspan Maternal Fetal Meds discharged me. Baby boy is head down, weighs 2oz more now than Asher did when he came out at 34w. They cancelled my 2x weekly no-stress tests and weekly ultrasound exams. Now I am down to just routine doctor appointments – which is so weird. I was at 3 appointments a…

Arrived at Adulthood
I feel I’ve finally arrived at adulthood. Tonight Matthew gave me the most wonderful gift: sleep! I climbed in bed at 8pm on a Friday night without a worry of our colicky son for 4 uninterrupted hours of sleep. It was grand. It is also now 1am and Asher is awake. Here’s hoping for more sleep…
