29 week check up

On 05/12/2011, I went for my weekly check up. I was nervous since the 2 week check up was so crummy. But much to our surprise, all was good news this week! Lauren is 3 lbs 2 oz. We got to watch her practicing her breathing on the sonogram, her heart beat is doing great, and we got a GREAT photo of her face! I know I'm a tad biased, but she is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! She did finally move head down, but there is still plenty of time for that to change. Deb says all we can do is hope she likes that position for now! 
As for me, my blood pressure was down back to my "normal." My fluid level had dropped from 23.5 to 22 (which they like to see it at 20, so I'm getting closer!) My belly measured in at 30.5 weeks (about a week and a half a head of schedule), and I only gained .4 lbs last week. (Lauren gained .3 so really, I only gained .1!!)  Deb was super pleased with that since I gained too much too fast last month. 

They hooked me up to the Non Stress Test (NST) for about 30 minutes.  Lauren was really sleepy, so they had to wake her up!  They eventually succeeded and saw the readings they were hoping to see!  I'm having no contractions yet (Thank God!!!)

She said all and all, Lauren is looking happy as a clam in there!
