34 Weeks

Well, just as I suspected, my life has been hectic lately. Byron came back from a 13 day underway on tuesday and left again toady. So needless to say I was not interested in sitting down with my computer to write a new blog when i could instead be spending time with Byron. So, this is my 34 week post that should have happened on tuesday. My latest doctor appointment was wednesday. She measured at 35 which is slightly big but they said it is nothing to worry about since she has measured right on track the whole time up until now. I lost 5 pounds but they said that i am still on track. I had gained a little extra on my trip to Ohio (the food is just so good there!). So they are not concerned about it. Her heart rate was about 140 bpm and we actually got to hear it spike to 153 as she started really moving in there. I believe she was practicing her break dancing moves so she can show her daddy. They said that a heart rate of 120 to 160 is completely normal for a girl. So everything is looking great! I am now far enough along that if i were to go into labor, they will not try to stop it! That is a crazy thing to think about. I still remember waking up the day after Christmas and taking the pregnancy test and seeing that it was possative. I remember running in to tell Byron and him hugging and kissing me so much that i didnt even get to tell him that it was possitive, only that i had taken it. Now here we are needing to be preadmitted at the hospital, pack our bags, have a labor plan, and a list of who to call when she is born! At times i feel like it has gone so slow. Right now i feel as though it has gone shockingly fast. I think that it takes 40 weeks so that the anticipation builds so much until she is born, that when she comes you could care less that she is so demanding and keeps you up all night. Who knows. But i know Byron and i cant wait to finally meet her and have her home with us.
