34 weeks

Doc Appt: BP was 134/82. Gained another pound. Still one pound down from starting weight. Guess I have to expect it at this point - baby has to grow. The ultrasound was first. Everything went and looked good. We got some more pictures. Not much room left in there. She was head down and the technician thinks she's pretty much going to stay there. If she moves it is from side to side, not doing flips from head to rump. Which but the way her rump seems like it is constantly in my ribs. Love that. After the ultrasound we had our regular OB appt with the non-stress test. She had been moving like crazy all day, during the US, and while in the waiting room. Then we get in to do the non-stress test and she doesn't move. Dr. Haxton came in and said her heart rate looked good and steady and there were a few points where it was accelerated so she wasn't worried. The fact that she wasn't moving probably just meant she was sleeping or comfy where she was. The doctor figures by the US that Jolynn is 5lb 2oz give or take 6oz. Which means she could be 5-6 lbs right now. There is still talk of being induced at 37 weeks. It was mentioned actually more than the 39 weeks at today's appointment. She did say we would make the appointment to be induced in week 38 so we can pick what doctor will be there and when we want to go in. If it happens naturally after making the appointment-all the better.

This week didn't see much going on. Been pretty low key. Went to a movie (Eclipse). Put up the mural (peel-n-stick). Jon put up a shelf. Hope to have the book shelves by next week. (Blogger is acting funny - won't load photos - see Facebook for photos of mural and shelf.)

Jolynn according to Babycenter:
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
