Only 5 more weeks to go, although I am officially full term in 3 weeks! We're getting down to the home stretch and could not be more anxious for Livee to be here. I am continuing with my weekly NST's and ultrasounds as well as weekly OB visits now. I am still gaining weight regularly (27 pounds now) and my blood pressure is fine. I have slight swelling in my fingers, but it comes and goes in my feet according to how much salt I have eaten that day. I had my first charlie horse of this pregnancy last night, which was just as bad as I remember. I really hope I don't have any more! We're staying busy these days and I'm still trying to exercise regularly. I really feel much better this time around than I did with Hayden even though I do tire easily. Hopefully everything will continue to go smoothly with her growth and I won't be too exhausted by the time she's ready to arrive.
According to the ultrasound yesterday, Livee is around 5 lbs 2 oz. There is not much left in her development now, just maturation of her central nervous system and lungs and putting on weight. She's still practicing breathing and is very active. The ultrasound tech was actually begging her to stay still yesterday so she could measure her! I'm not complaining b/c I know all is well with her when I feel her moving and also I can get done with my NST's in around 20 minutes.
