today was our 30 week doctor appointment. seems that baby b's been doing a lot of moving around and getting ready for her big day. doctor says she has a strong heartbeat and that i'm measuring at 32 inches now. yikes! considering i'm only 30 weeks and 1 day, i'm on the bigger side of the measurements!!
myka and i then asked the doctor which way the baby was positioned, seeing as how i only feel her in the lower left and right sections of my belly. we figured she hadn't turned head down yet and that she was still lying left-to-right. doctor surprised us by turning on the ultrasound and showing us that she indeed has turned and positioned herself for labor/delivery. she also is curved in almost a U or C shape, with her spine on my left, her butt at the top of my belly and her feet and hands on my right. we were definitely surprised by her length and the size of her head. can't say it helped much with my apprehension on labor though!
with the 30 week appt, we found out that we start our bi-weekly appointments. meaning we'll be at the doctor's office every two weeks until the very last few weeks, when we will be there every week. it's so scary...she's almost here and already growing so fast!!!
i love reading your blogs heather! it is so cute that you are having a baby! you are gonna be such a wonderful mom.
