Alexa has been moving like crazy. She does not seem to be doing much sleeping. I can tell she is getting lower, but she can still kick my ribs. She should be around 3.75lbs and 17inches in length. All 5 of her senses should be fully working & she may even have hair.
We had our 32 weeks appointment yesterday. I put on 1.2lbs (114.4 or a total of 22lbs). My blood pressure was 123/95 & fundal height was 31centimeters. Alexa's heart beat was 134BPM and strong. I was also given a prescriptions for a yeast infection. It should be an easy fix.
I also expressed my concern to the doctor regarding the possibility of needing a C-Section because of my size. He said it was more about the size of the baby. He thinks a baby 7 1/2lbs or smaller should not be a problem. Basically saying it would be easier for me to deliver at 37 weeks over 39-40 weeks. So I should come off modified activity at 37 weeks (assuming Alexa is doing great) and hopefully will be able to successfully have a vaginal birth in the weeks following. I am still hoping to keep her in there as long as she needs, but not over my due date. He also said he will not let me go more than 1 weeks over my due date. So there is an end in sight... Alexa will be here by October 7th!
Saturday we have our follow up 4D ultrasound. This was a package deal we started in April when we found out her gender. This visit should give us more vivid shots of her face & allow us to watch her movements. We are both very excited to see her. I am also planning on heading to Cincinnati to meet my nephew Matthew. I am still comfortable traveling, but will need to be back before August 18th (my next appointment)... so hopefully he will arrive soon.
