34 Weeks

We went in this morning for our first bio physical profile of little one.  She did awesome.  She got an 8/8 (meaning she did her practice breathing, moved all her limbs and just basically looked good!).  My blood pressure is fine, I lost 2 lbs this week.  Basically the doctor said my pregnancy is going as well as we can hope!
Maddie is weighing in at 5 lbs 6 oz, making her the perfect 50th percentile!  Her heartbeat was 149 bpm.  She looked great.  She gave us an awesome full face picture and a really good profile picture as well.  I need to put them on the computer. 
We are looking forward to meeting her in 34 days.  My c-section is still scheduled for January 25th, and as long as she keeps growing well she should weigh in around 8 to 8 1/2 pounds.  A little smaller than I thought, but perfect!! 
I am finishing up my little bit of Christmas shopping that I am doing, just have 2 more items to buy.  We are going to visit family on Saturday.  The OB said it was fine for me to travel the 2 hours north, just as long as I didn't try to come back 2 hours if I needed to go to the hospital!  He also said that I should not hesitate if I need to go to the hospital for any reason.  He was adamant that I could go everyday if I felt like it, just as long as I went!  There have been a few times where I've contemplated asking DH to take me, but baby girl either moved or I felt better within a few minutes.  I had terrible pain in my upper back and chest last night.  i thought for sure I was having a heart attack or something!  Turned out to be gas!  I can understand why people go to the hospital for a heart attack and it ends up being heartburn or gas.  I was terrified and in so much pain. 
I have 19 more days of work left before my maternity leave starts.  I am planning on working through the 21st (Friday), and then taking that weekend and Monday as the start of my leave before the c-section on Tuesday.  It will be nice to have a few days at home, just DH and I getting the last of the baby stuff done.  I'm not sure how much I'll be up to doing, but hopefully we can get it all done in time.
I have my appointment with the lactation consultant and the hospital tour on Tuesday, my next OB and bio physical profile on Wednesday.  Every Wednesday until I give birth I will have a scan and an OB appointment.  I'm looking forward to seeing baby girl and making sure she grows well. 
I hope everyone has a Wonderful Christmas and spends lots of time with loved ones!
