33 Week Dr. Appt

We had a Dr. Appt last night before our final birthing class. Dr. Duffy said that the baby and I are measuring great! When she was evaluating my belly, she was able to tell us that the baby is head down with a very small chance of that position changing before I give birth. The baby was also very active during the appointment and the Dr. got to see a foot or hand jab out of my side! She giggled and gave it a little tug. I told her not to be scared if our baby is born with 5 sets of arms and legs because that is how my belly is feeling right now! Over the course of the past 2 weeks I have been jabbed, kicked, and punched in multiple spots at multiple times! But, I am not complaining one bit, I would prefer tons of movement instead of none! We have one active little baby on our hands! (Heartbeat was 135bpm)

The Dr also informed Pat and I that we would have to wait a little longer to get our official induction date. We have an appointment to see our blood specialist on February 9th at Children’s and then our OB on February 11th. Our Dr.’s plan to talk before we arrive at the OB office on the 11th and set a date!! It is still looking to be around February 20th, give or take a few days. I wish we could know sooner, but I understand that they need to take another ultrasound to double check everything as well as examine me to see how my body is progressing.

There is nothing we can do but wait patiently!

Love,
Jamie
