Weekly Check-Up

We are, of course, going for weekly check-ups now. We had our 37 week check-up today and are doing famously! We had measured 33 inches consistently the past three weeks in fundal height (apparently at about 34-36 weeks this usually tops off), but today we broke the charts at a whopping 35 inches! We also got the results back from a non-stress test we did last week and despite our small appearance, we passed with flying colors!

The baby is active and hiccuping constantly (right now as a matter of fact); all good signs. No reason just yet for any grandparents-to-be to jump on planes to the south land (other than the weather, perhaps)- but Dr. Johnson was kind enough to explain what to do if I went into labor this weekend while he was not on call. Of course that was followed by the traditional "but, you know, first babies often come late." Oh well, I appreciated the gesture.

All in all we're doing great and anxiously awaiting our little one!
