34 Weeks

The stats:
  • Gained 1/2 lb
  • BP 110/56
  • belly measuring on schedule
  • Heart beat sounded good
  • Dani is head down but not dropped yet.
I love that every time my Dr. listens to the heart rate for a little while he then gets a smile on his face and looks at me and says "Amazing." After 30 years of delivering babies and listening to heart beats all day everyday, the wonder has never worn off.

He also said "Keep doing what your doing because it's working" and I said, "I'm not doing a whole a lot..."
And he started talking about how pregnancy and labor are not "The Event." So many people get focused on just that part, reading about it, talking about it. Your body is going to do what it needs to do whether you are on board or not. The real event happens when you walk out of those hospital doors with that little baby and now you have to figure out what your going to. That is the event you should be focusing on.
Wise words.

  1. Wow - A wise Doctor. I'm glad you're in good hands. :) Very similar to how the WEDDING is not the event... people get so hung up on planning their wedding they forget to prepare for their marriage.
