37 Weeks

Last weeks Dr. appt lead to an ultra sound to check on baby's growth. They thought I was measuring small but the ultrasound revealed our baby girl is right on track and a healthy 5lbs 9oz. I had 10cm of amniotic fluid (good amount), and I was a pinky finger dilated, and starting to thin.

Looking in the mirror I am still carrying high, but her head is down and in the right place. Today's appointment her heart beat was 152 and we talked about having another exam at 39 weeks to see if there was progress or if my cervix was looking good enough to talk about induction at 40-41 weeks.

I passed my group strep test. Only concern I have now is some pulled muscles in my abdomen and neck/ shoulder. Tylenol only helps so much. I can only take it every 6 hours, but it only lasts maybe an hour or 2 of less intense pain. I think muscle fatigue got the best of me yesterday. I felt like I had the flu. I got in bed at 6pm, couldn't eat, chills, body aches, and those pulled muscles. I am so thankful for Gray and that he was able to take care of me and kinsley and get her to go to bed. He also woke up with her at 5am this morning and let me sleep. I am SO lucky!

and I am SO ready to be back to normal!
