So you know how I said we had our Week 34 appointment yesterday?  Well, turns out it was really our Week 35 appointment!  How’d that happen?!?  It seems that I’ve been “measuring” our weeks wrong all along… oops.  The OB’s office has our weeks starting on a Tuesday and I was starting the new week on Thursday- so we were 2 days off.  Really not that big of a deal but during yesterday’s appointment everyone kept saying “We’ll see you next week…” and I finally said “We don’t have an appointment for next week- our next 1 is in 2 weeks.”  So that’s how we figured out our “miscommunication”.  Anywho- so we’re now at the weekly appointment stage.  

My “fundal height”- height of the uterus measured from pubic bone to top of uterus- has been measuring small for the past 2 appointments so they also wanted to see me next week to check on that.  So we have our Week 36 appointment next Tuesday- not sure if they’ll definitely do an ultrasound then to make sure all is well with Baby M or if they’ll wait another week.  I guess we’ll see what the measurements say next week.  I’ve definitely been gaining the proper amount of weight- not too much, not too little- maybe it has just been the heartburn that has been holding me back?   Who knows.  Everything else looked good during yesterday’s appointment- baby’s heartbeat was nice and strong and my blood pressure is still nice and low. 

We also had our 2nd Childbirth Prep class last night @6pm- so after our dr appt we headed to TGI Friday’s for dinner- Friday’s Shrimp- yum!   Dinner was good and so was class- we saw a video about epidurals, talked about pain and what its purpose is during labor, and also worked more on breathing and massage techniques.  I was realizing I should maybe practice this stuff at home too

Cindy, Sergio and Bella arrive from Italy today- they’ll be here for a couple weeks.  They’re having a family party at my parents’ house in Ocean City this weekend- wish I could travel there for it!!!  Have fun for me and take lots of pictures!
