Doctors Appointment - 37 weeks

Well, this week started out with a trip to the hospital on Monday for Casey and I. Turns out I had a stomach virus and I was losing a lot of fluids. We figured everything was ok, but I got really nervous so we went just to make sure Ella was ok. I am feeling much better now! It was a trial run in travelling to the hospital and we learned a few things: 1)we will take the car instead of the SUV when I am in labor due to being able to maneuver in traffic 2)bring extra pillows because the one's in the hospital are flat.

Anyway, I saw Dr. Kennedy today and as expected due to being sick, I lost 3 lbs in the last week and my belly shrunk by 1cm (which could be due to her dropping a bit). However, our little girl or shall I say big girl is still trucking along. We had an ultrasound today and by her measurements they estimate her to weigh 6lbs, 13 oz and we still have 3 weeks left; SLOW IT DOWN GIRL! Just kidding, as long as she is healthy I am fine with her weight. She is still in a breach position and is facing toward my back. I am 1 cm dilated and I tested negative for group B strep, which means no antibiotics, yeah! Ella is still very high so Dr. Kennedy doesn't think that she will be making her arrival anytime soon. I know most of you have asked yourselves, is she going to turn????? Well, we shall see. The doctor says that she can still turn at this point and it won't matter until I go into labor, so it is just going to be a waiting game and we will access the situation once I go into labor.

On another note, today is Casey and I's 4th Wedding Anniversary, hard to believe!!! I think we will celebrate sometime this weekend though since I have just begun to feel better today. I have attached a picture of myself that was taken today, until next Wednesday.......
