Baby Savannah Update

Things are moving right along at 35 1/2 weeks! I missed my 34 week appointment because we were out of town so I went at 35 weeks. Everything is still going good. My BP was 108/60 which is where it's always been, I've gained 32 lbs, and I forgot to ask what my iron was since they checked it that day. I'm on a prenatal vitamin and an iron supplement and still stay around 10. Anything above 12 is ideal. I met with Dr. McKee since my doctor is still on maternity leave. He is one of my favorites there . He was glad to see that I wasn't swollen yet and he asked me if Keith and I were big babies since Sawyer was 9 lbs at 39 weeks. I said no and that we were 6 and 7 lbs. He did my measurements and she was measuring right at 35 weeks which was a different story from the past two visits when she was measuring 2 weeks ahead. I told him the last 2 days that she hadn't been moving a lot like she had been so he ordered a non-stress test and an US to check fluid levels. I told him I wasn't too concerned because she had moved all morning but he wanted to be safe. Both checked out fine and her head was so low that she couldn't even get a shot of her face! This made me feel good because Sawyer never dropped or engaged in my pelvis because of his size. Who knows if she will stay this way so we will see. They are going to do another US at 37 weeks to get a better estimate of her weight to see if a VBAC is even an option. I go back on Tuesday and they will do the Group B Strep Test and check for any progress, eek! I can't believe we are down to weekly visits already!

Two weeks ago some friends and family threw us a Sprinkle at Cocina Superior. It was such a fun night and we received so many nice things for Savannah. Her nursery is all set up except a rug. Who knew there were so many shades of pink! All I have left to do is wash her newborn clothes and pack our bags for the hospital. Last week I pulled out her infant seat and I forgot how heavy they are! Keith said he would just install the car seat when we get to the hospital because he will have "plenty" of time. Um, those are the LAST words a nesting Mama wants to hear. I wanted it done ASAP! I'm driving everyone crazy!

*This was posted from my iPhone because I can't seem to figure out the new Blogger format on my computer. That explains the lack of pictures from the sprinkle!

Here is a pic from 33 weeks
