8 months and counting

8 months (36 weeks)


So our little bean was 8 months on October 23rd.  I'm a little late in posting her update.  I am sure I wrote down all of her stats from October 23rd but since the move, I have no idea where that is at.  For the past three weeks, we have been having "exams" with our appointments to check how close we are to delivery.  As of last Wednesday:

Heartrate: 138 bpm
Weight gain: 24.6 lbs (yes, that is less than 25) - 159.6 lbs total weight
Estimated weight: 6.5 lbs (gaining about 1/2 pound a week)
Dialated to 1+ centimeters ("less than 2 but more than 1" is what our doctor said)

He also mentioned that "baby is VERY low and you are thinning out nicely!"  I suppose that is a compliment! :)  He is still expecting her to come close to my due date of November 23rd, but says that if my water breaks or I start having contractions to go immediately to the hospital because she is in the ready position!  Woo hoo!

Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly!  I will try to update more pictures as we get closer for my family to keep tabs on what I look like.  If I get brave enough, I may even post a picture of my bare belly per some requests...
