Growth u/s at 3:30 ET! Can't wait to see our LO one last time before she arrives... and after reading a bunch of posts yesterday about people seeing hair on their most recent ultrasounds, I'm excited to see what LO's got goin' on as far as that goes (DH & I were both born with full heads of hair, so we expect her to be an equally hairy baby lol). I am hoping she's gotten into position by now, too, but will try not to freak out if she hasn't yet. I know she's still got plenty of time to flip, but it would be a relief if she were already there.

GL to everyone else with appointments today!

Good luck to everyone! @babygabe614 I must have missed that conversation yesterday, but now I can't wait until my next u/s so I can check that out! 

Just got back from my sleep study last night. Talk about annoying trying to sleep with all that junk stuck all over you! Then my normal Friday NST today at 2:15 EST

Good luck, all!!!

I'm interviewing the second of four pediatricians today.  After my first interview yesterday, this office has a lot to live up to.

I have an ultrasound this afternoon to check my kidney.  Saw an OB yesterday who is not convinced that I have a stone but thinks it may actually be hydronephrosis.  If that's what it is, I'll be dealing with it until the little guy is born, but at least I'll get approval to go on maternity leave like, now.  I don't know which outcome I'm hoping for!

Good luck girls!

We have a growth u/s today at 10:30am PST. I'm hoping the technician will tell me what they weigh instead of making me wait for my doc, who is in Europe right now. I'm so impatient! We get plenty of regular ultrasounds so we know their position and all that good stuff, we're just hoping they're nice and chunky

Biophysical profile today, so get to see the baby. M is coming with me, so I'm excited to get her reaction. I am hoping the 3D is working this time and we might get some creepy alien baby photos this time.

NST at 10:30PST. Been feeling really crampy and contracting the last few days, so I plan to bring that up. We'll see what they say about it.

Had a growth u/s and checkup this morning, baby boy was sleeping with his arms over his face so we didn't see his 3d u/s. Got a tiny glimpse of his profile, he weighs 5lb 3oz approximately and measured 6 days ahead. Still wont change my due date amd they didnt measure my belly today. Fluid and bp were good though.. The dr wasn't my favorite she basically dismisses your questions with a suck it up buttercup attitude. Next time I pray its someone different and she is not on call when we deliver! Go back in 2 weeks and hopefully will see him! Hope everyone has a good visit today

NST was good. Machine picked up the cramps and contractions I've been having all week, but the nurses didn't seem too worried about it. During the contractions though, Isaiah's HR would drop, but since it would come right back, they didn't seem concerned. It definitely worried me though, and if I keep contracting like this, I will be going in to L&D to be monitored longer. 

I don't want to seem paranoid, but with the ICP diagnosis, and this being my 3rd baby, things are different with this baby, and not in a comforting way. We shall see though.

@babygabe614‌ Our ultrasound technician told us that our LO has a full head of hair too! She said she's "never seen that much hair on an ultrasound before". My step mom got so excited (she owns her own hair salon) so she's been buying tons of bows and clips for her too cute.

As for my appointment, I had my last physical therapy appointment for the week this morning and had a pretty tough workout. I just can't wait to get through all the exercises so I can get the massage at the end. They didn't check my alignment this time though, maybe because it was good last time :-/

@babygabe614‌ so according to crazy Mexican folklore if you've had bad heartburn during pregnancy it's because they have a lot of hair so I make sure and remind LO when my throat is on fire that she better be born with a head full lol

Just got back from our growth scan. The girls are measuring 4 lb 3 oz and 4 lb 2 oz (woohoo!). HBs are in the 150s and they're measuring on track at this point. My cervix is still Fort Knox and measuring 4.06 cm. Everything is going good, I'm just huge and uncomfortable and apparently carrying almost 8.5 lbs of baby in here, oy!

babygabe614

Our growth u/s went well and LO is right on target for size, weighs 3lb15oz and is head down! And.... she has hair!! Hahaha. My DH was actually the one to ask about the hair and he got so excited when we got to see it, lol. We also got a surprise peek with the 3d u/s machine. Of course she had her foot in her face the whole time but we still got a couple good shots.

Here's a pic... I just can't with those cheeks

@letsgobowlingx‌ she could see the hair on the 2d u/s but you can't see it on the 3d. When she zoomed in on LO's head you could see little "blobs" or tufts of hair

I had my doctor appointment and he did the swab and an internal exam. I'm 1cm dialated and he made a comment about feeling the head so she is on the right position . I'm 35 weeks, he didn't say anything about her coming early and he knows I'm working the next two weeks

I had another ultrasound today and little Skippy's heartbeat was sounding better! The arrhythmia is still there, but the actual heartbeat sounded much more normal (to me), and the extra beat/pause was much further apart. Yay!

The past couple of ultrasounds, she has been in a pike position with her knees on her nose and her feet over her head! We were watching a foot creep up towards her face today, it was kind of funny. There's always something in front of her face -- cord, a hand, or a foot!! But anyway, I'm happy she's doing better.

@nutmegs8 super cute pic!!

had a regular two week check up on Friday.  Just weight, blood pressure, measured my bump and listened to the HB. 

My little sister flew in to surprise me for the weekend so she got to come with.  She was really excited. Doctor says baby sounds very happy.  HR was 144.
