I got to go to the doctor today and have an ultrasound. I love getting to see my baby girl! The appointment went well, and at 36 weeks she weighed about 5 lbs 13 oz. which is a little on the small side (which i am happy about for delivery purposes) but its never a good feeling to hear that your baby is in the 30th percentile... makes me a little nervous.
The doctor said it was nothing to worry about, but instead of me going on my maternity leave on October 10, she wants me to start next week on the 3rd. Just so I can take it easy and not be on my feet all day at work. That way the baby can get a little bigger.
Other than that they said everything looked great. There wasn't really a reason she was small, her umbilical cord flow was "beautiful" so she is getting everything she needs, I guess I'm just on my feet too much!
So only 3 days of work left! Then I get to sit around and wait and wait and wait for 3 weeks. Hopefully I can put some of this nesting to good use! The doctor said her head was VERY low, (possibly resulting in the baby coming early?!) So hopefully I can have a good maternity leave, and not drive myself crazy!!
