So I went for my 34 week check up today. They did a sonogram to see how baby boy is doing. He was moving around quite a bit, his heart rate was at 141, and he was practicing breathing. All good signs! He currently weighs in at about 5 lbs 14 oz and is still sitting up Frank Breech (with his feet in his face). All in all... he's doing great!
As for Mom..... Doc says that if he doesn't turn then it'll definitely be C-Section for me. He's going to be a BIG baby! He still has plenty of time to turn even though his quarters are getting a little (well a lot) cramped. I was telling Doc about the one time last week that I was seeing floaters and that I have had a headache since Sunday. He also noticed that my feet are swelling. He's concerned that I'm developing Toxemia. (http://www.webmd.com/baby/guide/preeclampsia-eclampsia) Now, I have to go see him every week and if my blood pressure starts to go up then he's taking me off work and putting me on bed rest. In the meantime, he says to get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids, take Epsom salt baths (for the swelling), stay out of the heat, and hang out in the pool (if I had one!).
On another note... they finally scheduled Sis' biopsy. It's set for September 3rd.
