Another Step Closer

Blood Pressure: 98/58
Baby's Heart Rate: 145
Fundal Measurement: 33.5 cm
Weight Gain To Date: 21 lbs
Changes: A lot of back pain, cramps, and my heart races a lot. Baby is still head down (ready to come out!)


(34 weeks)
I am 34 weeks and 1 day now so I am well on my way to the finish line. Today the doctor checked me to see if I was progressing at all because I have been feeling a lot of pressure lately. It appears that I am 1cm and just barely thinning out. I guess that is a lot of progress for 34 weeks but I am not counting my lucky chickens because I could be 11 days overdue like I was with Maya. In the meantime I just have to start focusing on other things, (like Maya's first birthday party that will be happening next weekend). I pre-registered at the hospital today after my doctor's appointment so I am thankful that is over. It was actually a much quicker process this time around because I had stayed at that same hospital last year when I was having Maya so all of my information was still in the system. So everything is looking good and the baby seems to be doing fine. I see the doctor again in 2 weeks. Time is FLYING BY! Just 40 days left.

Looks like you're carrying high. That's all baby, for sure. I still say that a 145 heart rate indicates "girl." It's nice to hear about life when just today a man in ICU died and another lady in Cardio-Vascular ICU. I took the man who died today for a Cat Scan on Thursday and he was joking around with me us. I can't wait to see what this baby is.....I'm sure he/she will be gorgeous, just like Maya!
Love, Mom

I so glad I know about this site now. i was dissappointed about the last one. You look great. At least baby is there. Hopefully you will go early or right on time, i know what late does to a moms head, and you do too. But that will only give you a few more days to cherish just one baby before all breaks loose!!!

Glad to hear everything is going well. You're in the home stretch now. Taylor was born at 34 weeks and was fine. Have fun planning Maya's birthday party.
