I had my 34 week appointment this morning and all is well. I've gained 25 pounds total with 6 weeks to go. That may sound like a lot to some, but I'm happy with it because, for one.. the ideal weight gain is 35 pounds and two.. I gained 55 with my other kids. I guess being glued to the bathroom with my head in the toilet for the first 5 months this time around really paid off. =)
The baby is in the head down position so that is another relief. Mothers-to-be always worry when (and sometimes if) the baby will get in the "ready" position because more than likely if the baby doesn't turn you end up with a c-section. I am praying that after 3 vaginal births I won't have to deal with my worst fear of getting sliced open.
And last, but not least, her heart beat is perfect - in the 150's. I go back in 2 weeks for my next appointment and then every week after that until she is here! As far away as it seems (because I am the pregnant one) it is so close!
