Everything checked out okay... BP was higher than normal (134/80) so they're keeping an eye on that (as well as the "sparkling lights" I have seen randomly in the past couple months). Sis' heart rate was in the 140's and everything sounded great... no wonky noises. I'm measuring right on track (35 weeks) and she is head down. He squished her around to guesstimate her weight- he said she's probably right around 6lbs, and that I am carrying a lot of fluids in there (more than "typical") so combined with the fact that she hasn't dropped yet it is why I'm appearing so large and "out there". WHEW! I was worried I was already carrying a 10lb baby!
Baby girl has been KILLING me with her stretching and kicking. OH my. There are times I'm so glad I'm not in public because I can't move while she is moving- it feels like she is literally ripping at my insides. OUUUUCH.
I *think* we're pretty close on a name. Well, Ry and the boys are so dead set on one name and while I do love the name as well, there are a few others I really love too. And so before officially settling on a name I really want to see her and make sure it is perfect for her. We are still not telling anyone the name choices, or the name the boys in this house have been determined to have. Its kind of neat being all secretive LOL! I could not have done this with the boys- for some reason I always felt like it was nuts to not have a name officially chosen before the baby was here. I didn't want to be anxious at the hospital and feel pressured and possibly choose the wrong name. However, I feel pretty good about the short list we have, and I'm positive one of the names will be just perfect for her. Its kind of foreign territory for me to go into this without knowing the baby's name!
I am getting SO SO excited to meet her. I keep envisioning what she will look like, smell like, how I will react when I first see her. What it will be like to hold and snuggle another newborn again. My newborn. My newborn daughter. And the boys... I so so cannot wait to see the boys with her. I can't wait to introduce them. It is getting so exciting to finally be at the end. 5 more doctor's appointments is all there is left!
