I have recovered from my stomach flu from a couple weeks ago. I did end up losing a couple a of pounds but nothing concerning. This week, weight is up about 22 pounds. Not too bad.
I went to the OB and the specialist this week. And everything is going well!
OB appt was quick and easy. I had my belly measured, which was right on track and listened to baby's heartbeat,once she stopped wiggling long enough to get the beats counted. Also, got the whooping cough vaccine with tetanus, so my arm is still a little sore. Going back in about 2 weeks for another check up.
I went to the specialist's office for an u/s and monitoring. Ultrasound didn't go as well as hoped but only because baby girl has her head down super low in my pelvis. Lower than ever before. She seems to be getting ready to make her exit. So the tech was not able to get any pictures of her head or face. She also wiggled a lot so getting clear pictures of anything was a challenge. However, they got enough measurements to estimate her length and weight, which has come back up to average, 17 in and 4.4 lbs. The tech also said she though she saw a fat roll.
After my ultrasound, then I was hooked up to the monitors. Baby did cooperate for that this time. We got done in the normal 20 minutes. I did however, have tightening and a contraction while on the monitor. The tightening happens all the time and its usually baby moving around but I'm suppose to watch the contractions and make sure I don't have them too often. If I do then I have to call my OB and go tot the hospital.
Overall, things are good! I have been getting baby's room all ready and organized. I'll take and post some pics once it is all cleaned up. Greg left for a conference in Maine this week but before he left, he got the prints I make put up, a couple of shelves put up and the butterfly mobile hung up too. I have been washing some of her things and organizing her clothes. So many cute things!
Getting excited and ready for her to be here, even though I know she needs to cook a little but longer. We are just so close to the end.
