I had an ultrasound done yesterday, 5/19/09, to check the growth of the baby. It was so cool seeing her. David and I are definitely having a girl. She has some hair already. She approximately weighs 7 pounds and 10 oz give or take a pound. The cool part was watching her heart beating, all four chambers working and pumping away. I can’t believe I have this little person inside of me and that she will be with us very soon. She is still in position squished down with her hands in front of her face. It almost looked like she was sucking her thumb.
I had my check-up with the doctor today, 5/20/09. I was in and out in no time. Again, I’m doing great with blood pressure and weight gain. The baby’s heart rate is within normal range; 130’s. He did check to see if I had dilated further. I’m still 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. He said that he can feel her head and that my cervix is loosening. So we shall see next week, if I have progressed any further.
Last night as I was driving home from work, I noticed a new feeling for about an hour off and on. It felt like my stomach had tightened for periods of time. She continued to be active moving around throughout this time frame. Some of the girls at work said I could have been feeling Braxton Hicks. I didn’t feel any pain; it was just a very different feeling.
Things are still progressing with the house. David has the baby’s room dry wall up and the taping and putty will be done hopefully this evening, just the first coat. I have her paint already to go. My brother and his wife will be coming up next week to help paint…so very grateful for that.
