38 Weeks

38 weeks! And really close to the big day. I'm getting anxious and excited for it. Although, I don't mind waiting. I'm the type of person that doesn't like too much change.

My latest dr appt was today. Baby's HR was 130s (she must have been resting). And the doctor checked me out and I was 3 cm and 50% effaced. Yikes! I know I can go any day now, but finding that out just makes it more real. That doesn't necessarily mean I'll go soon - I could go tomorrow or I could go in a few weeks. We will see! No contractions yet.

Before this, my last dr appt was 36 weeks. They did do a quick ultrasound at this appt. Showed baby was head down and there was a good amount of fluid in there. Urine test was negative for both glucose and protein (good job). I couldn't believe it since I eat ice cream every night.

Now the real waiting begins... wonder when she will come. 1 week early like Colter or will she try to stay as long as she can?

33 Weeks

33 weeks! And almost there. Wow, I look big in that picture. I compared to 32 weeks and 36 weeks posted while pregnant with Colter and I'm not sure if it is the angle of the picture or what, but I think I look bigger this time. I don't feel bigger or even weigh more (I've only gained 20-lbs so far this time). I think I'm all belly again.

28-week appointment went well. Did the glucose test - results were fine - about 90-something - normal range is 80-130ish. There was +1 glucose in urine, which at the last appt (32-weeks) was not mentioned. Then after the 32-weeks appt. last week, the online results showed trace glucose and protein in urine. I will have to ask about it at 36-week appt., since that is how long I have between appt.s. The nurse practitioner who I saw said they would do an ultrasound at that appt., too. I don't think that is normal - I never again had one with Colter after finding out the sex. Wonder if she is going to do that since I told her I've felt tightness while on my long drive home from work. I think it is discomfort from the position of the seat in the car or possibly baby sitting on my bladder. She is low! Sometimes I can feel her hiccups near my butt.

I knew the third trimester was going to go quick and it is! Just wish I knew for sure when she is going to make her debut!
