So I wanted to wait to make another post after my doctor appointment. I had one today with an ultrasound. Now, don't get to excited, the baby was moving so much we couldn't even get a good picture. The technician also told me that the bigger the baby, the worse the picture can be. Oh poopie! I was really looking forward to seeing her face. The picture we did get is still cute, and I think she is going to look exactly like Big Head. Yay!!
The baby is also measuring at about 6 lbs and in is the 65th percentile. So I was told she is measuring bigger, but all seems well. The more awesome news is, I didn't gain any weight from my last visit! Woot woot!! And I have to be honest, I have been eating like a pig. I guess walking around Walmart is paying off lol. She is also head down now.
On a serious note, I did have a positive fetal fibronectin test. This test determines if have an inkling to go in to preterm labor (in la min terms). If you have a negative test you are definitely not going to go into preterm labor; if you have a positive test you could go into labor, but 80% of women go full term. I know it's kind of weird. My doctor is not worried, so I am not worried. He says he would like me to go 37 weeks, but if I go early he will be ready lol. I am glad he will I am not so sure I will lol.
I did pack my hospital bag. I was able to go to the dollar store and pick some travel items to take with me. Here are a few essential I have packed:
- toothpaste
- tootthbrush
- mouthwash
- lotion
- chapstick
- face wipes
- slippers
- bobby pins
- hair ties
- deodorant
For the baby, I backed her going home outfit, a hat, socks, and 2 blankets. I also packed her diaper bag, just in case we go to my mother-in-law's house (her house is a lot better for receiving visitors, without being cramped in my apartment).
I haven't felt like nesting, so I am taking that as a sign that I have some time lol. I have actually felt the opposite. I have felt like cleaning anything. I am officially 34 weeks tomorrow, and I am pretty sure my baby wants to go to my big sister's wedding to see what the fuss is about lol, but we will see.
I am nervous and excited. I do wish people would stop telling me to relax. I am relaxed, but I don't see people bending backwards to help take my trash out or bring my groceries up the stairs, so for now I still have to do those things. I do want to do a spiritual cleanse in my apartment, so if anyone had done one let me know :-). I have been drinking 2 glasses of red raspberry tea everyday, so we will see if that helps with labor.
Hope everyone is great!
See you soon.
