33 weeks

Back to the doctor today. We are on once a week visits now to monitor more closely. My blood pressure was up last week, however, now it is much better and I am not nearly as swollen as I was then. Thank goodness, the swelling was miserable. At the appointment today, I had another ultrasound to check her movements as well as her weight. According to the ultrasound, she weighs 5 pounds and 6 ounces. I am not sure how accurate those are though, so we will just have to see in March. Dr. Voss told me she is in the 70th percentile in weight, I guess that is good since he didn't say anything about the weight. Sophia did not move around for the ultrasound as they would have liked, so when I got to Dr. Voss' office, he wanted me to have another non-stress test. She moved some during this time, but apparently not enough as I have to go back on Monday for another test. He did say that he is being overly cautious which Marty and I both are fine with. A big thanks to Katie since she went to both appointments with me. It was a long wait for both- I think we were there about three hour altogether. It was much easier to pass the time with someone to talk to the whole time.

Another interesting tidbit -- my doctor has the due date as March 6th, however, every time I have an ultrasound done at Central Baptist they say March 2nd according to her measurements. Not a big difference but who knows. Marty thinks she will be a February baby which is funny because Katie said the same thing today. Maybe February 20th!!!

LeeAnn is throwing a shower for us on Sunday. I have been looking forward to it all week. It will be so great to see friends and family to celebrate Sophia's arrival!!! I will post some pictures soon from the shower as well as her room! Marty has the crib together- now we just need to finalize where the furniture goes. It is all falling into place for our little girl and we can't wait to see her!

  1. I loved being with you at the appointment... so cool to sneak a peak at my niece! I have a feeling she may be here the last week of February and that she will weigh around 8 lbs. :-)
