35 Week Appointment

Today we had our 35 week appointment with the best doctor in the world!! I had my Strep B test done and he also checked me. He says that I am what they call "fingertip". Meaning not 1 cm, but not closed. He explained it with using his fist, take your fist and clench it, closed means you can not get your finger in your fist by your thumb and index finger, 1 cm would be if slightly opened your fist and could get your finger through. I am at fingertip stage, meaning you can get your finger in your fist but not through. He says that is fine. I was kind of surprised that I was there already.
I weighed in first thing and have now gained a total of 17 lbs. The baby's heartbeat was at 157 and I am measuring 33 inch. He did also note that the head is down too!! Exactly where we want the little peanut! He did add another appt for me, next week we'll be going back on Thursday. I will be getting checked weekly now, I think these next 4 weeks are going to fly by!!!
I got a little hot and clammy and had to lay back on the table while Dr. Schutz was talking to us. It was soo hot in the exam room and he was talking about all this stuff... and he started to sound muffled, so I thought I'd better mention that I was feeling clammy. Aaron and Dr. Schutz took good care of me and made me feel better!!

Last night Aaron brought me supper with two Oreos on my plate, he said that "it was for Baby Gus". I just smile... I think it was cute.

Aaron was a good helper last night.... he took off my toe nail polish. I will just go plain jane until the baby comes. No one should be seeing my feet in the fall and winter anyways. If they do, tuff!!

Today is turning out to be a great day!! I love hearing the heartbeat, and love that Aaron can come with me to all my appts. He is a great partner!!
