Week 35 Appointment

So we had our first of 5 weekly appointments today which included our first NST. The test went well and I had a contraction during the first 20 minutes of the test (the test lasted about 25-30 minutes). The baby is still head down which is really good and I lost another couple of pounds since our last appointment on Wednesday. Total I've gained 10.5 pounds since my pre-pregnancy weight. My belly measures 35cm so I'm right in line with my weeks and the doctor said that starting tomorrow, if I go in to labor anytime between now and my due date they will not stop the labor. I just hope she can hold out until after I'm done work on the 18th since this will be my last day of work before maternity leave. Blood pressure was also good as usual and there wasn't much else to really say except keep doing what I'm doing and the baby will come when she's ready to come!

Next appointment is next Tuesday and I will have another NST done to track everything yet again. Will update you again after that appointment.

Love,
Vickie, Mike and Ella

  1. This is incredible, she's almost here! I wish I was there to help you guys with the room prep, I love doing that stuff. However, Aunt Joanie can strip hardwood and wall boards so I'm sure you've got good help. Miss you guys and I can't wait for that phone call!

  2. Thanks Marie! I know - Mike had a little freak out the other night about us going in to labor and then delivery and then having a baby and then I had a slight one today, but it's all good! I had another contraction this morning too so it's only a matter of time before we're all ready to go!!! We wish you guys were here too! Hopefully we'll get to see you guys again soon!!!!
