Andrew and I went to see Dr. Arronte today for the 34 week check up. His little heart was beating at 147 bpm and he is still head down but more centered with his back to my stomach. I didn't gain any weight this visit and he measured 35cm again. All good news as far as I'm concerned. Means I'm not gaining too fast and he's not getting too big. He must have just had a little growth spurt before the last visit.
Last night I had some mild cramping in my lower back that wrapped around the front for about 2 hours. I called the 24 hour nurse line at Presbyterian hospital just to touch base and see what they recommended. A little water and some tylenol resolved it. I talked to Dr. Arronte and she said it probably was some early contractions but nothing to worry about at this stage in the pregnancy. If he was born today he would almost certainly be able to go home with us.
Andrew is getting his flu shot and Tdap vaccine today. He also picked out some pretty adorable hats and socks for the little boy! We can't have his little head and feet get cold at the hospital!
The baby has gotten so big a few of the women in my class can tell when he's stretching and pushing his little butt into my side. He makes me look lopsided when he gets really antsy. Now when he gets the hiccups you can actually see my stomach bounce with him =). Anyway, he's doing great and we are just beside ourselves with excitement.
