notes from our office visit today

We had our visit this morning with our midwife, Donna… all is going well. My belly is only measuring at 32 weeks (I am 34 ½ weeks). Our next appointment is the 26th. We are scheduled for an ultra sound, NST (where they hook me up to the monitor and do a stress test/monitor baby’s heart rate for 20 minutes), and then an office visit. Donna will check my cervix to see how we are progressing on that front so we will know if we are ok to start the acupuncture to help bring on labor or if I’ll need to hang tight a little longer. We’ll be better able to gauge Peanut’s growth on the 26th. I think she’s doing well. She’s still moving like crazy and gets the hiccups about twice a day. Donna said my weight is good. (I’ve gained 21 pounds total so far.) Not much I can do about the back pain. I’m pretty much resigned to the fact that it is not going to get better until I deliver. It is all worth it though.

Here’s hoping she’s not bashful this next ultrasound and we can get some decent pictures.

Love you all, ~B
