That's what this week's baby doctor appointment showed. Still really normal (good for even a non-pregnant woman) blood pressure, awesome amounts of amniotic fluid, wonderful "practice breathing" respiratory motions, great muscle tone and movement frequency, normal heart accelerations and decelerations... this kid is doing so well during the BioPhysical Profiles and Non Stress Tests we have done each week.
My terrible respiratory affliction and pregnancy asthma are pretty much under control, too. The coughing and hacking are nearly gone and have allowed my rib and connective tissue around the fractured rib to heal nicely. Besides frequent contractions (that do not alarm my doc) and just fatigue from carrying all the baby in my middle, I am super healthy.
She's probably a little larger than the 35 week estimate of six pounds, nine ounces, and during her ultrasound this week, she was in a hurdler pose, with one leg kicking high and straight out and the other tucked up behind her bEhind. She had a dramatic pose of one palm on her forehead. (Images yet to be scanned!)
