We had our monthly OB appointment today—y era un espetaculo!
Esme was restless throughout the appointment. You were a dancing machine! The
nurse kept repositioning the handheld heart monitor because she was unable to
continuous monitor your heart rate because you would move to a different place
in mama’s tummy. Pepito shared that you didn’t like the heart monitor so you kicked
it and moved around to avoid it. Pepito te quiere mucho y te va cuidar! Estas
lista para tener un hermano major que te va ha sobre protejer?
Since you kept moving around the hear monitor, the nurse
finally elected to give us a heart beating range. And she shared that you were
very healthy especially given your heighten activity. We are truly blessed!
We also went shopping for baby items. We headed to Toys-R-Us
and went on a shopping spread! We got you a Chicco Pack and Play set, Mini City
stroller, Chicco Key Fit 30, and a Greco Snuggle Bunny swing. As always, Mama extensively
researched highly regarded baby products by parents. Her thorough research
really streamlined the shopping and we picked up the best for you! Te queremos
mucho Esme!
Mama has also started conceptualizing your room. The theme
of your room will be cherry blossom. Cherry blossoms represent power and beauty
in China. In Japan, cherry blossoms represents a life cycle. Mama loves the
idea cherry blossoms signifying power because she wants you to blossom into a
powerful independent woman. Mama and Pepito also fell in love with cherry
blossoms while we were visiting Japan during Semester at Sea. You are going to
love your room and the symbolism it will represent.
