I had my 30 week appointment yesterday and all is well with the baby and I! Her heartrate was great, my weight and blood pressure were perfect and my belly measured exact. My doctor, who I love, will likely be out of town on vacation when I deliver Tessa, depending on when she comes. For him to deliver her, she'll either have to come during my 37th week ( which is still considered full term) or a day after her due date. I am betting that she'll come sometime while he is gone, unfortunatly. Audrey came a week early, and he was in Las Vegas for a conference just over the weekend. Another doctor in his practice delivered Audrey, and we had a great experience with him, so my doctor said he's be sure to have him take care of me if I delivered again while he was out of town.
I will go again in 2 weeks and then two weeks later, then in my next appointment, my 36 week appointment, he will check me for dialating, effacing, etc. as well as a few routine strep B tests, and things like that. It's really hard to believe how soon it is all coming and how fast it's going!
The weeks seem to be getting longer at school as we count down the final days and weeks. It happens every year, each passing day starts to feel like an eternity.
I am so ready for time to work in the nursery, time to spend outside playing with Audrey, lazy mornings where we don't have to get up, get dressed and get moving but can lazy around a bit in our pj's and decide what fun we are going to get into that day. I am looking forward to park playdates and time for home organization. I am working on compiling our Summer Bucket List and we have some fun things planned. Some things that are a "must do before the baby comes" and others are a "must wait to do until after she comes"....mostly b/c Mommy will be too giant and pregnant to enjoy doing them before she comes.
