Docta, Docta, gimmee the news for 35+ weeks...

One month away from parenthood! Bill and I had yet another exciting doctors appointment this morning - highlights include:
  • BS's heartbeat - 140bpm (slowin' down a bit)
  • Hemoglobin check - iron levels look fine
  • Blood pressure - great
  • Tummy - measuring right in line to an avg size baby
  • Baby - weighs about 5 1/2 lbs right now
  • Weight Gain - I've gained another 2 lbs...she suggested gaining another 1 lb per week for the rest of the pregnancy. I'm at a total of 22 lbs weight gain which she feels is right on track!
  • Group B stress test (bacterial test) - results will be given at next week's appt
  • Dialated - 1-2 cm already!
  • Baby's head is down and in the right position

I'm going back weekly for appointments now. In the home stretch! It's Halloween tomorrow - I'll be sure to post pictures of me in my costume for a work party. Going as a knocked-up nun! To get you in the halloween spirit, below is a pic of my crazy little sisters getting ready for the big day! Ha!
