Oh, boy. We went to Tyks yesterday and guess what, the baby is now 3,7 kilos. She's gained 1,2 kilos in just over three weeks. She really has gotten bigger! No wonder she seems to move much less than before. There just is no extra space for her.
Otherwise everything seemed to be ok. Her heartrate was good and everything else, too. She just hasn't dropped and the parts of me that should mature before she's born haven't yet. Sigh! This might take a while.
We have our next check up at the hospital three days after her due date, but hopefully she'll have been born by then. What the doctor said was that with how things are now you couldn't yet induce labor but I guess if we go over the due date then it really is what will be considered because of the baby's current growing rate. At least I hope so!
This is the weird part of pregnancy. First you want the baby to get big enough so that you'll know it would be safe for her to be born and then at some point (3,7 kilos to be exact) you don't want her to get any bigger :). The second weird thing is that everything becomes more and more about your body. It has a life of its own and there's very little you can do to change anything. You just have to wait and as Husband would confirm I may have a lot of good qualities but patience is not exactly one of them. I really hope the baby takes after her dad :).
After the doctor's appointment I went to my office to see colleagues and ended up staying almost two hours. It was good to be around people since I do spend quite a lot of time at home these days. Then I did a bit of shopping and met on the way four more people I know so that was wonderful. In addition to which my friend called and later as I'd gotten home my mother-in-law, too. We had a very sociable day in other words. And it was a lovely sunshiney spring day, too.
Today I'm kind of tired, though :).

waiting is never easy -and LA's early arrival has to have made this harder still
but you are not even at your due date yet Mia, and since your body isn't ready you can be sure that the little one isn't either (no matter how big the hospital think she is!)
so praying for the fruits of the spirit for you - love, joy, peace and yeah patience too
You all (all) in our prayers and thoughts and she'll be born on the RIGHT day.
just stopped by to say "hi" ... hope you are doing well ... it's holy week and Easter is round the corner :)
I'm expecting an Easter Sunday baby - time will tell if I'm right (or not!)
Hey :), I'm still kind of hoping she'd come a bit earlier so that her godparents and my extended family could visit us at the hospital over the Easter :). I do think she may have dropped, though, yay!
