We had an ultrasound yesterday. Peanut is still doing well, though her growth has slowed again. She now measures in the 30th percentile and is estimated to weigh just 5 lbs 11 oz. She may gain up to 2 lbs over the next 4 weeks, but probably not. At this point, I’m thinking she’ll be around 7 lbs. Her head is way down in my pelvis, but we were able to get a great picture of her face. Don said, “She looks like you, she’s got your chin!” To which I answered, “and my cheeks!!”
The non-stress test was fine - though she did not want to cooperate. I had to drink some apple juice to get her movin’ around in there. What should have taken 20 minutes took nearly an hour!
Donna, our midwife, checked my cervix and things are starting to thin. After next week I can start doing acupuncture twice a week to and hurry things along. Donna does not want us to go past 40 weeks due to the two vessel cord and my age. I’ll now go to the doctor each week until I deliver.
Other than severely swollen feet and ankles, my office mate calls them my PRANKLES, I'm feeling pretty good. Just excited to meet her!
Love you,
~Barba
