Now on to baby news. I had an eventful week with Dr. appointments. I had my 32 week check up on Tuesday and everything is going great. I am measuring perfect and baby is very very healthy. We then got our 3rd and final 3D ultrasound on Thursday. It was so great to see her again...and Yes she is still a girl. Of course I made them check one last time! :) Her heart rate is very good and she still has plenty of fluid to float around in. So that means she'll be in there a little while longer. Which is good news...although I wouldn't be against her coming in about 3 or 4 weeks when I'm considered full term! But that is up to her. Friday later in the afternoon I started having some pretty consistent contractions and around 9:30pm, after counting them and contemplating going in, Steve and I went in to the hospital to make sure I wasn't in pre-term labor. Luckily everything was great.....but I did have about 5 contractions in the hour we were there. They told me baby is not coming, but I need to take it easy and stay off my feet more now. Easier said than done!! Yesterday I tried to lay around and succeeded somehow. Steve went to the grocery store for me...thank goodness. He also brought me home some chocolates...and a small box for the baby. Wonder who is going to eat that?? Today I've relaxed as well...but now I have the itch to get up and do some laundry. I'll just take it slow.
Here are some new pictures..Steve took the belly picture of me today. I am certainly getting big! The ultrasound on Thursday said the baby was over 5 pounds!!!! So I'll likely have an 8 pounder!! The ones below are some of our 3D pictures...they may be hard to see, but she is basically looking at the camera and her hands are up around her face. I also posted one of her baby foot! She has Steve's toes :)
We have our next appointment on the 26th and then we'll go every week for a check-up. I can't believe we are getting so close! I'll post next week!
