the time has come. I am 37 weeks. 37 weeks = full term. full term = baby can be born anytime and be healthy and mature enough. 37 weeks to the midwife patient = in the clear to have the baby with the midwife and not at a hospital. (more on midwife's and natural birth coming soon.)
On Monday we (finally) got our second ultrasound. We only were getting a second one because the first one saw a possible mass in the stomach area. We went to Bayfront for the appointment and I am SOOOOOO glad I chose to have my baby with Gina (my midwife) and not somewhere like Bayfront.
The ultrasound went REALLY fast. It was a blur. But all good news... she is cephalic (head down) = perfect position for birth (good baby!), healthy with no mass, small but not too small, fingers, toes, and a very pretty face. We got this one blurry shot of her profile (she is looking towards your left). Sorry it got folded up. whoops.
Does this make more sense?
I am trying to go swimming as much as possible because it is great excersize and the only time I feel comfortable and cool. Today me and my mom and dad went to Ozona Blue and here is some sexy 37 week pregnant lady pics...
Do I look pregnant still?
Dad said to pose like a model and this is all I had in me...
Oh, and I saw one of my favorite people today- my chiropractor. I invited her to attend our labor and delivery. Turns out she recently has decided to specialize in Pediatric Chiropractics and was honored that I ask her. I am honored that I will (hopefully) be her first birth.
Sometimes you don't get what you want, you get what you need.

I think she is ready to come out to see what all the commotion is about, great idea to invite her!!
ReplyDeleteShe is going to be a perfect little lady and wait till mum is ready, I think.
Then all can go smoothly.
