Yesterday I went to the doctor's for a check up and this is what we found out...
-Baby is growing just perfectly and doing well
-She weighs about 5 pounds right now and has long legs (but I already knew that thanks to her serious kicking)
-I am a little low on amniotic fluid which means more bed rest for me at least (I have to go back on Monday to get my levels checked again...maybe I was just a little dehydrated...which is impossible...I drink like 8 oz of water an hour)
-My contractions are very far and few in between...but bed rest might be a result of that...again more rest for me
-My doctor let me go out for lunch with Michael yesterday because I had to go back and get a stress test an hour after my appointment...that was so kind of her!
Overall things are going well...I was a little worried about my low amniotic fluid but the doctor and Michael have both reassured me that I am just a little below normal for my gastational stage and we just need to monitor it right now. I really love my doctor...she is so thorough...she doesn't baby me...she is very honest and tells me how things are. She is very caring and covers her bases...I like that!

Sounds like things are coming along great...except the bed rest part..I am sorry you have to do that but it will all be worth it in the long run. Hang in there, she'll be here before you know it.
My fluid was low and apparently it made Dallen feel a little crowded...maybe you'll be super early too :)
As for the bed rest, ENJOY IT!! It will be your last for a LONG time!!
I'm excited to hear the update from your dr appt today! I hope everything went ok.
miss you!!
I know it's late but I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. I hope you had a wonderful day!! Can't wait to see pics of your sweet baby girl.
