Week 34: A Visit to the Specialist (February 10)

This week we had 2 appointments with 2 different doctors.  I had my typical Friday morning non stress test and on Tuesday we headed to Rex hospital for an appointment with the high risk maternal and fetal medicine specialist.  We got more ultrasound pictures! We do love seeing Biscuit move around.  The 2D pictures weren't much to look at because he is so squished up from running out of room!

The 3D pictures, although kind of distorted and a little creepy, were much better.

Biscuit and I are both healthy and he is growing well.  A nice big 5.7 pounds they say! According to their charts my due date is closer to March 14th than March 24th.  They showed us his lungs and we watched him practice breathing for a few minutes.  He is pretty much ready to go whenever he wants, but I'm still not sure if they will let me deliver right away if he wants to come again.  I need to remember to ask that.  The specialist did tell me to ask my doctor if I could have some activity each day because she does not care for bed rest.  After our appointment Michael took me out for a special treat!

Friday morning's appointment was fairly routine, although I did have lots of questions to ask this time.  I have been feeling pretty yucky and having more and more contractions that are starting to develop a little pain and pressure, but according to my doctor that is going to keep happening and will probably only get worse until Biscuit comes.  I asked him about having a little activity and he agreed that I could have 30 minutes of light activity TWICE each day! How exciting!

I am still receiving cards and phone calls and they mean so much to me.  I know you are getting tired of reading this, but thank you again to everyone for your support.

Here are this week's belly shots:
