Or should I say 35 days!! yay :)
I had my ob appt today and everything went well. I measured 1 week behind again, but had fortunately gained 3lbs. So that was good news. My blood pressure was down to 88/56 which is really low for me. And Kinsey's heart rate was a little lower then usual it was 130, but he said that was ok for how far along I am.
Kinsey is definitely head down and resting right on my cervix. I am not dilating or effacing yet, but he said it won't be too long. He said he could feel her head :) Which I never had with Ethan, so I am super excited!!
He didn't check my amniotic fluid today, but will next Friday. So I will report back then. I will have him check her weight and size then too. She just feels so huge! but they all do :)

33 week appt
Well ladies I had my appt... I actually lived through it! haha, I just seriously thought I was never going to make it there without a major anxiety attack. I kept myself very busy this morning and time flew by!
My amniotic fluid still measured around a 9. So it did not go down, didn't go up either, but that's ok. He said for right now, its ok.
I measured 1 week small- stomach measurement. Kinsey measured only a few days small on some parts(head) and a week off on other parts(belly,arms, legs). He added them up to place her at a 16% and weighing around 4lbs 3oz.So, with her a little off, me a little off, and my fluid a little off... I walked out in the OK for now spectrum.
So I get checked again in 2 weeks to see if she and I are getting bigger. He said as long as things keep increasing, even if its at a slow rate, its OK.
Oh and I only gained 1 lb. He said its OK.

2 more days...
2 days til my 33 week appt. I am so anxious to see my little girl and make sure she is ok in there. Her movements have really changed over the past couple weeks and have me worried. But I know its the time when they get big and stop moving as much. I'm glad I have been through this before to know a little bit about it, to put my mind at ease. I will post on Friday that everything is well! Until then...

Low fluid
Today I had my 31 week appt. I am finally measuring at 31 weeks!! yay for that! Its the first time I have actually measured on target. I was measuring 2 weeks behind for quite a while. I also finally gained a good amount of weight. So those were both great signs. But my amniotic fluid was low at my sonogram 3 weeks ago. On a scale of 5-25 I was at a 7. So today he did another sonogram and measured me at a 9. He said it can depend a little on how she is sitting and how much of the fluid they can see. They measure 4 different pockets and add them up. He said 9 is definitely better then 7 but still not ideal. He said we would like to see closer to 11 or 12 at this point. So in 2 weeks I go for my next OB appt and will have another sonogram to check the levels. If they are between 5-8 I will have to be induced. I will only be at 33 weeks at that time, so I am PRAYING and hoping you will too that the amount of fluid will increase.
