...only 9 more scheduled appointments to go! Now that we are moving into the final stretch of things, I visit my OB 1x a week and my Perinatologist 1x a week for sonograms and fetal monitoring.
Yesterday, I did my 1/2 hour in the chair at the perinatal center at Alexandria hospital and the baby did fantastically. Sono showed the same. Beautiful lungs and practice breaths, still fluid in the belly. Doctor G. assures me this is nothing to worry about, non life threatening. He said the baby is behaving as if he could care less that the fluid is there. Which is a great thing. Baby boy has been EXTREMELY active and I am still in doubt I will make it to February 5! That's 5 weeks and 4 days! Seeing in my opinion will be believing. I am looking forward to that GIANT sigh of relief. Probably loads of tears of relief too!
So ... a week ago they measured and there is a good reason I feel MORE pregnant now than I did at the end with the girl. She weighed 6 lbs, 15 oz at birth. This guy is already over 7 lbs! TGF C-sections! They will measure every other week to make sure nothing is too out of control. Of course my mom - who delivered an 11 lb, 4 oz and an 11 lb, 14 oz baby has no sympathy! Not really, she feels my pain.
I am ready. When he is ready I am ready! Is it February yet???
