8 Month Appointment
Today I started my every week appointments at the doctor's. It's very exciting and a little scary all at the same time! I gained another 2 1/2 lbs. this time, bringing the total to 26. The doctor said the baby is definitely head down, which has been the case for the last few appointments, but the baby could still move. The doctor said the baby will probably stay head down from now on, because things are getting more cramped. I swear the way this child moves sometimes, there is no way Baby is that cramped...I think the baby will come out doing acrobatics sometimes!! The baby's heartbeat was 143 this time and it was funny because Baby had hiccups while they were measuring the heartbeat, so we could hear the noise through the heartbeat monitor. The doctor's estimate is that the baby is about 5 lbs. now and will probably be between 7-8 lbs at birth, so I can't complain about that. :-) And probably "TMI" (too much information) for some of you, but something I think is pretty cool is that I'm 1cm dilated. Obviously this doesn't mean that I'm close to having the baby or anything, but just exciting to know that things are progressing. 1cm down, 9 to go. If only the rest of the way was as non-painful..ha ha. Anyway, that's all the update for now. This weekend is of course the 36 week picture and plenty of pics from my shower this coming Sunday with friends and family!
