Aside from being sick pregnancy has been going well this past week. It's almost weird to say that it's gotten easier in the last few weeks because I feel like most women get increasingly uncomfortable; however, Baby B dropping away from my rib cage made a HUGE difference. Now I sometimes forget I am even carrying a little girl (until I try to bend over, or cough, or walk....okay, maybe until I move).
Ryan and I met with one of the senior midwives this week. She has been a midwife for one million years and had oodles of experience regarding anything baby. She estimated Baby B's current weight to be 7 pounds 14 ounces! She then said, "I don't want to scare you, but you could easily be pregnant another few weeks because the baby has a lot more room to drop down." AAAHHHHHHHHH! This could mean we could have a 9 or 10 pound baby. The midwife then pointed out that she doubts people really feel a difference between birthing a 6 pounder or a 9 pounder. Let's hope she is right!
Here are some other fun facts:
*Baby B's heart tones were in the 140s.
*She is in a position that tends to make labor very fast but also very intense.
*My fundal height is already at 40 inches (the amount of inches is supposed to match the amount of weeks pregnant you are....but Baby B is just going to be a big baby).
*Baby B knows when we are at the doctor's office and always puts on quite the show of moving around and kicking.
But here is the BEST fact of all:
*My platelet levels are holding steady at 101. This might mean I am just still sick. BUT it might also mean that they are just set on remaining at that level. I will talk to my hematologist again soon.
