Dr's appt update

My appt went well today. I asked him about my 'history' and if that would determine whether the baby comes early - He said that he will look at my u/s results (the one I'm going for at 36 weeks) and he will also send me for a non-stress test at 38 weeks to see how the baby is doing - then he will go from there. He then said "but I have a feeling you won't make it to 40 weeks".... I was a bit confused/concerned by that comment and asked him why, he said "oh, that's just my hunch - I'm thinking you'll go into labour around 38 weeks". I guess we'll see how good his 'hunch' really is :)

Antsy!

This past week I've all of a sudden gotten REALLY excited, antsy and impatient for this little baby! Eeeek! I don't know if it's because the nursery is now in order, I'm on my last few shifts of work, or just the fact that's it's getting closer.... I dunno, but it's something!
Today I have another Dr's appt and I want to ask him about when this baby will be born. Mostly just to ask him if my 'history' will change things. I really want to go into labour on my own but if he offered to induce me a week or two early I would take it! The *fear* is getting a bit stronger some days but I guess that is more something I need to talk to God about then my doctor.

9 more to go!

Today I'm 31 weeks. And apparently the baby thinks it's time to be head down. I was driving back from the grocery store and felt the baby roll then settle down into my pelvis. Feels so funny! Like I have to pee all the time and I don't want to sit or bend over cuz I feel like I'll crink it's neck or something.
This morning I was sitting on the couch and thinking to myself....9 weeks....wow. It's gonna be tomorrow before I know it!

A Reward

I found this awesome verse in my devotions this morning:

"Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him" ~ Psalm 127:3

Feel so blessed today...

ultrasound

I just heard back from the clinic that my u/s isn't until November 12th. Awww - shucks...
It was supposed to be a 32 week u/s not a 36 week one!

Dr's appt

I had another Dr's appt yesterday. Here's the down-low:

-my infection is gone
-measuring right on for dates (30 wks)
-baby's heart rate was 131 (Brennan was always around there too, maybe it's another boy?!?!)
-booked for another ultrasound in 2 weeks (so excited to see that little face!)
-everything is 'perfecto!'
-gained 4 lbs in the last month
-now I go for appt's every 2 weeks instead of every month

Yesterday as I was sitting in the waiting room, and my Dr's wife came to chat with me. She does her husbands billing/paper work so she always stops for a little visit whenever I'm there. I was thinking after she left about how awesome they are. Such a great and caring couple. I don't think that happens very often in a city hospital... Small town Doctors are so great (or at least mine is!)
