I just realized that I hadn't updated my blog in a few weeks. Everything is going well. I'm going in once a week to see the doctor. He's still saying I'm going to have a small baby--like 6 1/2 pounds. I'm thinking more like 7 1/2. Actually, she feels like she weighs 10 pounds right now! My back is tired and I feel like I have to carry my belly around.
I went to see the doctor this week and I told him I had a sharp pain in my abdomen. I knew I wasn't in labor, but they hooked me up to some monitors just to be sure. They put a monitor on my stomach that showed the baby's heart rate and another monitor on my stomach that measured my contractions. (I actually had a couple!) Then the nurse handed me a button and told me to push the button each time the baby moved. I pushed that button A LOT! Apparently Emily doesn't like to be constricted (which makes me wonder why she's still in there!!). She moved and moved. The doctor says the baby is doing just fine and that the pain in my abdomen is probably the baby irritating the muscle and ligament. I guess it's just something I'll have to learn to deal with, just like her being on my sciatic nerve. Already Emily is on my nerve and irritating me and she's not even here yet!
