June 1st ---- 33 Weeks!!!!

Week 33 was a pretty crazy one.

WORK: I was one my second to last week of work and finalizing all the my projects and transition material. It's been pretty stressful since I have a teammate in Singapore taking over most of my duties- meaning I've had meetings from 6:30-9pm sometimes for the time difference.

BABY PLANNING: It's been a little difficult these last few weeks only because Nobie and I now are certain we do not want to continue with Dr. Hill.. or deliver at El Camino in Mountain View. We know we do not want to join the Stanford hospital group either since it's required to have a student resident deliver the baby----- but we doooo what to deliver at Stanford Lucile Packard Hospital for their beautiful facility.
The above was sorted out only after countless hospital visits, and appointments, and meetings, and discussion, and consultations for advice. Blossom Birthing center has been the absolute best for their experience with both doctors and hospitals in the Bay. I am very grateful to them.
After living through that stress, I now finally feel we have everything in order.

BABY: After our most recent ultrasound this week, Dr. Hill has assured us that baby Olive is no longer at risk with placenta previa!! This is fantastic news and will make it so that I have a better chance of having the natural relaxing birth that I am hoping and training for. At the end of the day modern medicine doesn't bother me too much, but if my body can do this on its own I want to allow it the best chance.

BUSY WEEK: At 33 weeks and 2 days I have hopped on a plane headed for Chicago for my last and final pre-pregnancy trip! I feel great, and barely feel a difference to my normal - besides the weight I have gained, and got the doctor ok so I wasn't worried.
It was wonderful being able to attend Sebastian and Bethany's wedding and see everyone one last time!
Pictures to come in the next bog post!
