Last Ultrasound /Dr apt

I could barely wait for today to come. I had the ultrasound first. Did all the measurements and checked on everything. Measuring a week behind (which is normal for me) and baby weighing around 5 pounds. The tech kept saying how scrunched Anna was. Great news is the Anna is head down (which I already knew because when Anna got the hiccups they seemed low). I was right that her legs and arms are on my left side. I always get jabs and big movements on my left side. Heartbeat was 158 bpm.

Tech double checked and yep, she is still a girl. =) Has some peach fuzz for hair on her head. She is still a stinker and wouldn't let us get a good picture of her face. She kept putting her hand or her arm over her face.

Next was my dr apt. I got my strep B test and then a vaginal check. I am 3 dilated. :) I was the same with Caleb and Julia around this time. I am getting excited that it is getting closer and glad my body is moving into the right direction.

I thought I had dilated a bit because last week there was times I sat down that I needed to readjust and sit down again because it didn't feel right. I know that sounds funny but its true.
I am going to the bathroom more and more. I get really hungry but then I can't eat that much because I feel I don't have that much room.

The whole family toured Bergan Mercy Hospital on Sunday. It is brand new and nice but kinda sad that isn't not familiar. That is where I birthed my other 3. I didn't know if we should choose Bergan again or go to Lakeside because it is closer to where we live now.

So today, I asked Dr Cote, What he thought about the hospitals. He told me the major difference was the level 3 NICU at Bergan and Lakeside had a level 2 but I didn't need the higher level since I was 35 wks. He really wants to be at the delivery so he suggested I go to whichever hospital is closer on what day he is at that particular office.

After the apt, my mom and I toured the Lakeside Hospital. It was nice and felt like Bergan but on a much smaller scale and it is a lot closer to home. Jeremy/daddy is nervous that we won't make it to the hospital. I am glad I toured both and feel comfortable if I had to deliver at either one.

I also like that the hospitals have change their policy and leave the baby in the room. They no longer take the baby out of the room to bath it and give it shots right away. They wait several hours now. Yea!!!

I need to get clothes, blankets and such out and washed. I can't believe in a month Anna will be here. 124 1/2
