34 weeks ..... or is it 38 weeks????

It's weekly picture time! Here I am at 34 weeks:



I had my bi-monthly appointment with my OBGYN today. Over the past week or so, I have been experiencing some tightening/cramping & I mentioned that to my doctor. Also, my fundal height measurement was 38 centimeters today (it should have been 34). I've consistently measured 2 weeks larger, but since this week's measurement was 4 weeks ahead my doctor decided to do an internal exam just in case.

Easton has dropped and is in proper position, but I have not dilated yet. But Dr. Rowe said "this little guy will be coming a few weeks early" - so if she is right, Easton will be here in early January instead of later in the month! We scheduled my next appointment and final ultrasound for Tuesday Dec 29th. We'll know more about Easton's position and size at that time.

I've gained 1.5 lbs in the past two weeks, which puts my total weight gain around 15 pounds. And Easton's heartbeat was really strong at 160 beats per minute. Of course I want him to "bake" as long as he needs to be healthy, but we are SO ready to meet him!
