We had our weekly appointment this morning. Nothing too exciting to report. Baby heartrate of 156 bpm, as she was upset that the doctor pushed her around alittle to get an accurate fundal height measurement. Fundal height measured at 34 cm but the doctor feels that as long as I feel Baby Girl moving and as active as usual, no need for concern. Doctor mentioned that my ribs are long so perhaps that is why Baby Girl has been carrying low and to the sides. I gained 2 pounds this past week! (26 total weight gain). I had another urine analysis done today, negative for proteins or sugar. (I don't think I mentioned that I had a urine analysis last week but I meant to because it surprised me as they haven't checked my urine since 17 weeks). The Group B strep test from last week was negative too so we don't have to worry about antibiotics during labor.

Ryan asked the doctor that if she was a betting person, which date she would put her money on...Doc didn't commit to a date just said that statistically, most babies are born between 38-40 weeks. Our next appt isn't until Thursday, 7/19/12 because the office is booked next Tuesday 7/17...Ryan thought that was odd of the scheduler as you'd think someone finishing their pregnancy would have an appointment available. Oh well... the doc said she'd do another ultrasound next week to measure how big the baby is getting...if we make it until the 19th!
The doctor also asked about Braxton Hicks but I only feel that tightening when walking or lifting things. If what I've been feeling for several weeks really are Braxton Hicks contractions, they haven't gotten any more frequent or any more intense yet.
Ryan put the carseat in his car today, so that's one less thing to forget when we are at the hospital delivering Baby Girl.
It's getting close!
