Well, we've made it to 37 weeks and are pretty much ready for the baby to make her arrival when ever she is ready. We've decided that November 29th would be perfect (two weeks early), maybe she'll cooperate! We had a date that we decided would be perfect for Cooper's arrival and he cooperated, maybe we'll luck out again! Probably not... :)
We had another ultrasound on Thursday to check on the baby's position- she had been breech but turned a couple days ago! And to make sure that she was growing ok since she measured small- 4lbs 3oz at 32 weeks. She had a growth spurt over the past month and measured at 6lbs 3oz! I'm just hoping she doesn't gain more than another pound and a half before she makes her debut!
The ultrasound was once again amazing to watch. She was licking and sucking on her hand. It will be interesting to see if she does it after birth-- the ultrasound tech joked that she was hungry! She even has quite a bit of hair-- I had no idea that you could see hair on an ultrasound-- just amazing! Here are a few pictures of her licking her hand. You can actually see her tongue!
As for me, I'm feeling pretty good. Pregnancy at 29 is harder than it was at 22 and 26-- yes, I was young when we had Chloe! I've never really had braxton hicks contractions with either of my other pregnancies, but I've been having them for the past two weeks and this morning they were pretty regular... and kicking my butt! I had to pick up the house, make beds and do the dishes because there was a showing (our landlord put the house up for sale-- but thats a whole other post in itself!). Apparently I've been pretty lucky not to have braxton hicks before!
So, thats the 37 week pregnancy update. Maybe we'll even decide on a name for Baby Girl Baron by the time she makes her grand debut!
