33 & 35 Week Appointments

We had another great doctors appointment and sonogram today! My placenta has moved up 10 cm above my cervix, so we are pretty much in the clear for marginal placenta previa, but will have one more sonogram in 3 weeks. Arrington came with us and got to see her sweet baby brother on the screen. She loved it at first, but was soon bored and wanted down to play ;). Bennett looked so cute smacking his lips! I wanted to see if he had some hair yet.  I'm dying to know if he will have a head full of hair like his big sister, but because his head is down and his face was facing out we couldn't see the back of his head. Bennett weighed 3 lbs. 13 oz., and the doctor said he will probably weigh around the same as Arrington. We go back in two weeks and after that it's every week! Ahhhhh, I can't wait to meet this sweet baby boy and kiss, kiss, kiss him!!!

 35 Week Appointment
The night before my 35 week appointment I was having some major contractions for about 4 hours. Some even 5 minutes apart with a lot of cramping. I was starting to get worried, since they were not letting up. I was so glad I had an appointment the next morning to see what the Doctor said. I went in thinking he might check to see if I had made some progress, but he did not seem too concerned. He told me that they would probably get worse as the weeks went on, especially since this is my second pregnancy. Bennett's heartbeat was perfect, my blood pressure was great, I have not gained a pound in the past two weeks (woohoo), and the doctor felt my stomach and seemed to think Bennett was anywhere from 5 lbs to 5 1/2 lbs. Next Thursday he will be checking for progress and we also get another sonogram, just to make sure that placenta of mine is out of the way. Yay, we can't wait to see that sweet baby face of his!
