35 Week Appointment

We had our 35 week appointment in Idaho Falls on Tuesday. We have had to have the last two appointments in Idaho Falls because the ultra-sound machines have been broken. Everything is wonderful with baby. He was a proud BOY yet again, showing off. ;)

He scored an 8/8. I'm not sure all the tests the tech ran but I know they take measurements in the heart, brain, lungs, and overall body size. We were able to save ourselves about an hour at the NST (non-stress test) because we were able to see him 'practicing' breathing. We were so excited our little boy is doing so great. We hope this great news continues! I will be 36 weeks on Saturday and we're officially down to our last month. Two more weeks and I'll be happy whenever he decides to come. If he doesn't, our Dr is still wanting to induce about a week early but we will know that within the next few weeks.

He's under 50% in all his measurements except the width of his head. He's about 70% on that measurement. Can't wait to meet this little guy, I think we're pretty ready for him to be here!

We have Dr's appointments every Tuesday from now until I deliver, so I will try to update with new information. Next week is the Strep B or Group B (?) test. I believe she'll check to see if there is any progress, too. I'm excited to hear. The ultrasound measured my cervix at 5, which is still plenty thick.

Went to a long 6 hr birthing class last weekend. They offered 4 weekly classes or one Saturday class. Glad we did it, it was very informative but we both thought it was way too long.

I've also got stretch marks now. :( I knew they would come but they kind of ruined my week. I was really hoping I could get by w/out them. And just today, my feet are starting to swell. Oh, the joys...

  1. I can't wait to meet this little guy either. I totally remember being bummed by that first (and later) stretch marks. Good luck!
