Doing good

Had my last monthly appointment today.  Appointments from here until delivery will be every 2 weeks.  Had my second ultrasound.  Wow how she has grown!!!  Got another picture...still not all that good because she's a mover and a shaker :)

You have to look at it from the side (tilt your head to the right).  She kind of has her chin up.  The umbilical cord was blocking part of her face.   She was moving too much to get a better picture of her.  I figure she'll be here soon enough :)  I'll take plenty of pictures of her.

Everything is good so far.  Her heart is good, saw her little feet, hands, legs and arms.  Spine is good.  Her head is a little big, but nothing abnormal.  At 29 weeks, she is about 3-3.5 pounds which is in about the 54th percentile (normal range).  She's a bit of a chub:)  She's in the downward position and her head is below the fibroid on my cervix right now.   Plenty of amniotic fluid is in there and the placenta is in the right place.  Her heart, kidneys, lungs looked perfect.  Umbilical cord had 3 valves which is perfect.  My glucose test came back normal, but my iron is low...gotta take iron supplement. 

Baby girl is very very active, which I am happy for.  I am quite tired all the time and hungry all the time. My stomach is pretty big. I'll have to take pictures soon.  I have to admit I was a bit worried about the fibroids, but they don't seem to be interfering at all with the baby.  So I'm more relieved.  Watching the ultrasound today, I saw her full face (just couldn't get a picture of it).  It's amazing to see how much she's filled out and she really looks like a baby now.  I almost cried because she's almost here.  I'm scared and excited at the same time.  Soo much to do though...
