8th Prenatal Appointment

This past Tuesday we had our 8th prenatal appointment. We had Nancy again (and we really like Nancy so that was great). She told us that my blood test last week came back perfect and my iron and red blood cells were great. She also gave us a worksheet to start thinking about our "Birthing Hopes and Dreams" (formerly called a Birth Plan) which is very exciting to start thinking about since we are now 34 weeks - only three weeks till Sophie is full term! Nancy also told us that Sophie might be at a higher risk for jaundice being born to a mom with O+ blood. She said to do some research on it and to hope for some sunny days. She took my blood pressure (100/60) and then she listened to the baby's heartbeat (140) and took my fundal height measurement which was right on track (33 inches)! Finally she palpated the baby and told us that Sophia was "in position". This actually made Jim and I a little nervous but we're very happy she is where she's supposed to be, which is apparently head down. So, I guess those hard things I'm feeling on the sides of my belly are feet and butt (or back) not her head. All in all a good appointment.

We also were supposed to have our 3rd Birthing Class this week but it was cancelled due to lousy ice and snowy weather. So, now we have two more birthing classes to go still. That's ok, plenty of time, right???
