Catching up-- 35 week appt

I know I've been truant with the updates, so I'll post a few I've had in que. First- last week's 35 week appointment:

Thursday they did an ultrasound and the Amniotic Fluid levels were up. We were so grateful- and relieved!

So I went in on Friday for the doctor appointment, but they couldn't find my file with the u/s results. So they took another u/s and -go figure- my Amniotic fluid was back down again :( I give up!! They have me getting monitored every few days now. I'm still above the "induction" level- so that's good news! I'm having more frequent contractions and they caught two of them on the monitors this morning. About 38 seconds long - ouch! Doc said that could mean going into labor soon- or- it could mean nothing. We'll not know until it happens. Regardless- I'm close enough to the 36 week mark and that's a huge milestone. Just a few more days.

We had more u/s pictures printed for us- not as clear as last time so they didn't scan well enough to post. But, I am posting both my 34 and 35 week belly photos are below, since I never even got around to posting 34 week photos!


You can see that I have "expanded" from week 34-35.
And when I post the 36 weeks, you'll be able to see my belly has dropped more.
