Dr. Appt #9 - bigger again!!



So, we had our weekly Dr's appointment and I measured big again (measured 40 cm at 36 weeks!). I also had a jump in weight but I think that had more to do with retaining water - my ankles are so swollen!! The Dr thought it best for us to have another ultrasound to look at the baby and do a measurement of the size (although ultrasound can still be off by up to a pound on size). We have the ultrasound on Wednesday afternoon and then we're back for another Dr appointment next Friday (Oct 3).

Baby Byrne's heart rate was good though and she's moving alot - she seems to be very comfortable in there!

Oct 3 is my last day of work - thank goodness! I'm as big as a house and taking the train in the morning rush hour is an unpleasant experience. Also, just being at work is no fun anymore since I am so tired....can you tell I'm getting tired of being pregnant? The complaining has begun :)

We started our baby preparation classes this week - a group of 12 or so couples all due around the same week (Oct 22 - 31 most of them). We'll go to that every Thursday night even after we have the baby. It's nice to meet other couples who are going though exactly what we are and we'll get to meet all of the babies and all that in the weeks after everyone has given birth. Should be good and will get us out of the house at least once a week with the baby :)
