On Monday the 21st, we had another bi-weekly appointment. The baby seems to be doing really well. Heartbeat was strong and 152 beats per minute. Everything else was going good. They scheduled an ultrasound for the 31st to check the baby's position and weight.
On the 31st, Bryan and I went bright and early to the hospital to get the ultrasound. Right away the tech said that the baby is still breeched. His/her head is up in my right ribs and butt is in my right hip. There was no good pictures because the baby looks all smashed in there. We didn't even get to see the face. I was hoping the baby would flip, but I guess we have a stubborn baby who is comfortable where he/she is. Bryan really wanted to know what we were having, but the tech said she couldn't tell at all.
This Monday, January 4th, we had our last bi-weekly appointment at 36 weeks. I had to have the Group B Strep test and an internal. The strep test results will be in next week. The internal hurt so bad, but my cervix is still closed. Dr. Houseworth said that he will schedule another ultrasound after my next appointment to check the baby's position one more time. If the baby hasn't flipped, we will be scheduling an ultrasound. Not exactly what Bryan or I wanted, but as long as the baby comes out, I will be happy! The baby has dropped an inch also. I wish it would keep going.
I will get some pictures on here later. We are almost completely ready for the baby. I still have to pack my bag, but I'm postponing it. I don't want to jinx it and never go into labor! I'm having more problems getting around now. Now, I can feel pain in my right rib, right hip and now kicking in my left rib all at the same time! So, this is really fun trying to sleep through. Other than that, heartburn is a constant now. It doesn't matter what I eat, how much or anything, I get heartburn. The baby seems to be doing great. We just hope we keep this up. Not much time left!!
