9 Month Check Up

I had my 9-month check up this past Wednesday and it went great!!! The baby’s heart rate continues to be good around 150, my blood pressure is normal, my weight is in check, and everything I am experiencing is normal, ex: the swelling and tenderness of the feet. This visit took a little bit longer due to having an examine done. I have found out that I am already 2cm dilated and 50 % effaced. SO EXCITED!!!! I realize I could be this way for a couple of weeks, but there is a chance she could come early. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next Tuesday to figure the size of her. Love ultrasounds. The last one I had was New Years Eve, so it will be amazing to see her again before delivery. When I told David that the baby has started moving her way down, it took him a minute to realize that we really don’t have that much time left. He has been spending the evenings getting the upstairs ready. Mom and Dad are visiting on Sunday to help with the house and are going to bring everything from the shower with them in hopes that next week I can start putting some of her things away.
I have been resting more this past week and a half. I will usually lay down for about an hour prior to sweeping the floor and making dinner. That helps a lot. Working a full day is very tiring these day, especially working with psychiatric patients. I’m losing patience with them. I’ll be glad to be out of work for 11 ½ weeks. I know it won’t be much of a break; however, it is a break from work. I am hoping to put the updated pictures on the web this weekend.
