I'm getting so excited, it seems baby stuff is all my brain can handle these days :)
This passed Monday, we had another ultrasound - things looked pretty much the same with our little girl: she measured small, and my amniotic fluid was still very low. She did have a very full bladder though, so if she would have squirted that out, the scores would have been a little better perhaps :) This passed Friday Dr. Klingler measured me again with a tape, and my belly measures 34 cm, so 3 weeks behind. We also had another non-stress test, and our little girl is still performing great, praise God! Monday I go back for yet another ultrasound, and Dr. Klingler will then most likely set a date for an induction - probably in my 38th week.
... !!! ...
That is in less than 1.5 weeks!!! :)
I wish there was a way in that I could "send" all the nutrients I eat directly to my baby, so that she will plump up a little bit more before then! I didn't realize a few months ago that I someday might not enjoy hearing "oh you look so small" all the time. :( Yesterday I had to pick up a car seat base at Walmart, and the ladies behind the counter said: "Stocking up on baby items already huh?" - I was a little surprised by this, and responded - "well yeah, she might be here in two weeks!" They thought I was barely 6 months along - pretty untrained eye if you ask me ;)
Anyway - here some belly shots:
Full frontal 37 weeks, 2 days
Side view 37 weeks, 2 days
And the globe from Ben's perspective :)
Besides taking it easy, I of course still keep busy nesting. Things are coming together pretty nicely: the necessary baby items are stocked, I've sewed 7 more burp cloths, and I've found that shopping online is the best thing on the planet for someone in my condition :)
The nursery is now almost done - newest item on the block? Friday night, Ben came home with the changing station that he and his dad built!! I'm so excited about it - it is absolutely beautiful!!! Home made, from a cherry tree! It has the prettiest colors and details!
Tada!

WOW! Time seems to have flown by! Quick question: why would the Dr. induce you early, if the baby is measuring small? (Is 38 weeks early? I forget...) Anyway, maybe I'll get to meet your baby girl sometime this summer.
