Another GREAT appointment....
Wt was up not even a full 1# from last week. That puts my total wt gain so far at ~28#. My tummy measured 37cm...right on track. My BP was just a bit higher than usual, but still good at...130/68! During the u/s, the baby's HR was 143 bpm. She was very active this time, thankfully (it didn't take near as long...and no buzzer was involved...haha). She again displayed her practice breathing and fabulous heartbeat right away (I never get tired of that wonderful sound!). During the NST, the HR ranged from 110-161 bpm....again, normal. My fluid was just a bit lower this week, but still well within the normal range. And today was another weight estimate. She is estimated to be 7 lbs right now. So, that puts me right on target for an 8 lb baby at 39 weeks (when we have the c/s planned). I was also checked for any dilation, which was a big fat ZERO. I'm guessing we're in this for the long haul, which is just fine by me. I'm in pain and ready to have my body back, but I want the very best for my baby, and that means growing until she is ready! However, since she checked me for dilation, I've been having pains (contractions??). Who knows? I guess only the baby...LOL.
I've still been battling this stupid cold. I woke up Sunday feeling pretty lousy and by Monday, I was 99.9% sure that I had a full blown sinus infection (as evidenced by my swollen, sore face and hurting teeth). I had been asking for antibiotics for the past 2 weeks, but my OB wasn't sure if it was just allergies or if it was the normal stuffiness that can result from pregnancy. I guess it finally took a painful face and teeth to convince her. I got my antibiotics yesterday and am already feeling better. And thankfully, I can still take Sudafed and Benadryll which offer additional relief.
The baby's room is almost complete. The clothes are washed and put away, the diapers and changing table are waiting. The crib is ready. The recliner is ready. All that is left is just a few wall hangings to hang. Now, the REAL question....am I ready?
