Dr Appt Update – 38 Weeks

by Kristi on March 14, 2008



Don’t itch. Don’t itch. Don’t itch.

Nurse Tari – says brightly: Well, we better get this baby out soon so this rash can go away!

Me – I smile. ARGH.

Blood pressure good. Pee good. Heartbeat good. It actually sounded slower today but she said it was totally normal. She said she might have gotten the doppler RIGHT ON the heartbeat because it sounded so deep.

I’m measuring 36 weeks. Last week I was measuring 35. Which is why, I forgot to comment last time (I think), they seem to think that Griff will be smaller than Sam was. Sam was only 7.1! Eek! Tiny baby. We shall see.

Next week, Thurs, I see Dr Fee for an internal. Skipping it this week, hee. I know she will try to strip my membranes too. Try? She will just do actually. I will be like, um no, and she will smile and torture me. haha – Oh well. So I think I should pack just in case. I should pack anyway. But just in case, by Thursday.

Although, another thought says… nah… She did it last time and the baby didn’t come. It was only the day after my due date that she did it and labour started that night. Especially since my (actual) due date is really more like April 1st (LMP due date vs ovulation date)… my next appt would be either Wed, Thurs, or Fri (26th, 27th, 28th) where she would do it again…

I’m thinking I will go into labor on the 27th and have Griff on the 28th. If only because Justin’s huuuuuge semi-final poker thingy is on that date. And the hissy fit I will pitch in front of him and the rest of the poker guys about my water breaking should be mildly entertaining.

But I really should pack.

Today I got a little gift from Griffin to Sam for the hospital. 🙂 Hee. It’s a little hammer tool set thingy. She likes hammering and it looked cute. I need to wrap it. And put it in the hospital bag. That I haven’t started yet.

I don’t really need much though. Hmm.
