Doctor's Appt - 34 Weeks!!!

My doctor's appointment went well this morning. I got to meet Dr. Grumbach for the first time. I liked him a lot! He delivered a friend of mine's baby, so I know I'm in good hands with him too. My blood pressure has remained consistent... still 100/60. They said no other patient is like that. I told them that's because I'm a perfectionist. My weight was fine too, 174lbs! No complaints from the nurse or the doctor. Mason's heartbeat was normal, 135 and I'm measuring 34 inches.

Dr. Grumbach noticed that I dropped too and I immediately asked him if he could tell how much Mason weighed or how he was positioned.... and he said he's about 5 lbs (guessing) and he felt his head in my pelvic area, so he's definitely head down. His head is about the size of a baseball and mentioned that Mason should stay like this for the rest of the trimester. He asked me if I've had Braxton Hicks and I described what I was feeling and he agreed that it was definitely the "fake contractions" preparing me and to let him know if they are regular and consistent.

Overall, he said everything's going well and it wouldn't shock him if I went into labor at 37 weeks. But like he said, Mason will come when he's ready! After this next appointment on May 27th, he said I will start coming once a week so they can check to see if I'm dilated. How exciting!!!! This weekend Lawton and I will finish cleaning and getting everything ready for his arrival. I want to be prepared and nest early so that I can relax this last month!

Love,
Erika, Lawton, and Baby Mason
