What a relief to be full-term! We had our ultrasound this past weekend and another Doctor's appointment yesterday. The u/s showed that Miss C is weighing about 6 pounds right now. But, the u/s tech said most of that was head -- uh oh! We did notice some rather large chipmunk cheeks, so she will fit right in with the rest of the Bechs!
Everything else on the u/s and at the exam looked great. My fundal height was 33cm yesterday, so I did increase 1 cm from last week. I do not appear to be dilating at all yet, so it looks like we've got at least one more weekend to prepare. I think she must have dropped a bit though because the nerve by my ribs is not pinching as much. My hip and finger bones are feeling very sore now though. Always something!
Oh, we went to a child care class on Monday night and learned how to swaddle, bathe, burp and diaper. Once we figured out which end of the diaper was the front, we weren't too bad! But, we have a lot of practicing to do with the swaddling! I am really thankful that we have a nice stash of Swaddle Me wraps at home -- those are going to be a lifesaver!
It will definitely be a busy weekend -- we need to pack the hospital bags, install the car seat and probably make several trips to BRU. I also have to get my car inspected since I made the ridiculous mistake of removing my inspection sticker rather than my vehicle registration sticker. I thought pregnancy brain was just a myth before, but I have never done that before!
