Appointment Update

There is a plate of blue cheese and liverwurst waiting for me in the livingroom, maybe with a pickle, and so this is going to be a fast update.

David and I made the hour long trip to the city today for my fetal assessment, which went exactly like I thought it would in terms of scheduling.  I was early, and they took me early anyway, and I sat for 20 minutes with a monitor belt on and then had an ultrasound.

Good news is: the baby is fine.  In fact, she's better than fine.  I needed two 'peaks' on the monitor for movement and heart rate, and I had four, interspersed with textbook calm periods.  They were thrilled.  My ultrasound showed that she was moving wonderfully, perfectly formed, swimming in almost double the amniotic fluid she needed as a minimum, and my placenta showed no signs of aging at all.

With that, I was sent home free until my Monday appointment.

So, I mean, great news and all, but on the other hand, I am still pregnant.  41 weeks and counting, now.  I walked over 2km when I got home, which actually seemed to stop the contractions, and so I'm off to sit on my borrowed exercise ball and see what that does, if anything.
