36 weeks
I’m at 36 weeks and now I’m at the point where I have a doctor’s appointment every Monday and a non-stress test every Wednesday. On Monday, the doctor did a quick ultrasound to check Peanut’s position and he’s head down now. I had a feeling because he feels much lower now.
On Wednesday, I went in for the non-stress test, which involves having a fetal heart monitor and a second monitor on my belly to check for contractions. I laid there for 20 minutes and listened to his heart beat. This is a picture of my two kids (one in the belly and the other in the stroller playing with her iPad). The nurse also did a quick ultrasound to check for the amount of fluid left in the sac and everything checked out just right. She also confirmed that he’s head down, facing inward, with his spine along my left side and feet on my upper right side.
We also received a few more gifts. The first was a sweater that was knitted by a nurse practitioner that I work with in the ICU.
I got a second sweater from the dietician that I work with regularly on the medical floor. She knits while she’s riding BART to and from work. I also received the hat in my mailbox at work but I have no idea who it’s from! It came in a little bag but there was no name or card attached to it.
We also received these items from Vyl and Bang. That hedgehog and book are so cute!
