29w6d - 10w1d to go!

We had another fun appointment with Dr. Fuentes today!

Not that it's fun to have to go see a perinatologist, but, we get an ultrasound at every visit, so I can't complain! I will have to bring my flash drive to work with me tomorrow so I can scan the new pictures in and upload them to the blog.

Angelica still looks fantastic. We got an excellent straight-on face shot, she's got these cute chubby cheeks and has really filled out. We got a couple profile shots, too - she is definitely her father's daughter! Her profile looks just like his. We also got another confirmation that she is, in fact, a girl. No surprises there (though she was much more modest this time than the last time - the tech, Maria, had to really work to get her to open up so we could get a peek!)

More good news - she is head down! This very likely explains why my pelvic bone has felt severely bruised over the past few days. Maria said that she will likely stay head down at this point, so this is good news! She just needs to fatten up a little more, and she'll be ready to go!

Speaking of fattening up - at our appointment 4 weeks ago, she was 1 pound, 13 ounces. Today she weighed in at 3 pounds, 6 ounces! My baby girl is getting so big! She also got the hiccups while we were looking at her on screen, and you could see her little tummy jump (and I could feel it too!)

Now, for the reason for the appointment - my blood pressure. At my last appointment at Dr. Fuentes office, it was 150/88. Today it was 130/66! He is no longer concerned about my blood pressure and told me to keep up what I've been doing.

The only other cause for concern, though ever so slight, is that the amniotic fluid is a tiny bit low. He wasn't worried about it (apparently it was at the low end of normal) and just told me to make sure I drink more water.

So, there are now two more appointments on the horizon - I see Dr. Cascio (one of the doctors in Dr. Wilson's practice) on the 31st of this month, and then back to Dr. Fuentes on the 16th of April. Beyond that, I think I'll be at Dr. Wilson's office every week to get checked for labor!

I can't believe she's almost here! 71 days to go!
