Today I had my 32 week check up. The appointment went well and was uneventful (kinda). Everything looks good so far. My blood pressure is good, Logan's heartbeat was 130, I am measuring 32cm and things are looking good. I have gained 20lbs to date for this pregnancy, much of which I'm sure is baby weight! I am very thankful for that thus far, I just hope it stays that way.
I told my doctor that I experienced some swelling last week, she said a little bit is normal and since my BP is fine, there are no worries as of yet. She just encouraged me to put my feet up when that starts to happen. I also asked about what we do when it gets closer to time of birth and induction, etc. I told her I would like things to progress naturally, and she agreed with me. My next question was, if I don't deliver by May 8th, then what do we do, can I be induced? She said they would schedule me for an induction on May 9th and go from there, however if my cervix isn't dilating, then we wait up to 7-10 days, but no more. At that point, I will be induced! I'm really hoping she decides to come on her own and I don't have to make any plans for induction. I am getting so excited for her to be here.
It dawned on me today that I only have 53 days left! Wow! Time is flying by so quickly. Her movements have gotten bigger and bolder and it's so hilarious to watch my stomach move from side to side. It's not funny however, when she tries to snuggle her way under my ribs. It is the strangest feeling. She is so amazing and I feel like I know her already, even though she isn't here.
Jeremy is also getting excited and can't wait to hold her and snuggle her and play with her. He is constantly telling her to hurry up and come and play! She knows his voice and responds to it.
We both can't wait for her to be here. :-)
