The bad news is that I did not get a Christmas baby and I don't think I am going to get a New Year's Eve baby either. However, he will be happy I am sure to not have to share his birthday with a major holiday and that's okay by me.
Baby Vernon and I feel the same..no better..no worse and I am just trying to keep busy and of course sleep and rest whenever possible. He is still pretty active and moves a lot around 11:00 each night. The only new symptom really is that the last couple of nights I have woken up to one (yes only one) painful contraction. That one is just enough to excite me into thinking LABOR, but then after a few minutes goes by I realize that it is not in fact labor at all and I go back to sleep.
The good news is that we went to the doctor yesterday and all is well.
Blood Pressure: 120/74
Weight: + 1 pound (for a total of almost 30 pounds gained to date)
Baby Heart rate: 132
Effacement: 80%
Dilation: 1 cm
Baby's position: Head down..sunny side up (hopefully will turn on his own)
We also got an ultrasound to check the baby's weight....are you ready for it????
7 pounds 8 oz!!!!
The weight is just an approximation I know and could be off in either direction up to a pound.
But still, I was and am still just so amazed that there is a 7 1/2 pound human being growing inside my body. It really does make all the aches and pains worth it. Chris and I both feel truly blessed and in awe of it all.
