33 week appointment

Doc says things are going well and if I were to go into labor in 2 days she wouldn't even stop me anymore. The baby is of good size, excellent movement and great heart rate. My glucose test came back awesome, my blood pressure has been steady throughout and I've lost weight. She says it couldn't be a better situation. Tomorrow will mark 10 weeks since I was in the hospital, so everyone in the practice is just pleased as pie with my advancement. She said the partners had their "high risk" meeting this week and the other 2 docs who I'd met at the hospital were astounded I was still pregnant :) They reviewed (yet again) the ultrasound photos from that day as they wanted to be absolutely sure there was ever cause for concern in the first place - and there was, I just did a good job holding on I guess!!

Today's results of the manual check are that I'm about 90% effaced (which is about the same as it's been for 8 weeks or so) and for the first time I am dilated - 1cm at this point. So really actually quite normal. I remember when Melissa was getting ready for Lexi and she was stuck at 90% and 4cm for like a month, so being a little dilated at this point is nothing out of the ordinary. Doc said after she presented all the info at the high risk meeting the big joke was I'm going to have to be induced at week 41....hahahahahha....doctors are funny eh? Though that would absolutely guarantee me being off work for the rest of the year, so I'm not going to complain if that's the case.

Otherwise things are pretty status quo around here. I got my hair cut really short over the weekend and it's super cute, so that's a nice feeling. The baby's room has a few tweaks left but nothing major except some of the decals just don't want to stay put where they are.....the vendor suggests rubber cement so that might be next.

Anyway, I think I nearly have this picture thing figured out so I'll post those soon.
