Last Tuesday(at 32 weeks, 3 days), we had our 32 week midwife appointment and perinatologist appointment.
Midwife stats:
Weight Gain - 19 lbs
BP - 120/80 (I have my doubts about this number)
We heard a beautiful heartbeat and all was well. We met with Mitra, again, who I have come to really like. Every time we pass her in the hallway she's says "hi", and she remembers our names (even without a chart in front of her). Very impressive for such a big practice. I did ask her about Tobe deciding to be pretty inactive when we were in Florida, but perking right up when we came home. She said it was probably due to the change in activity. I, personally, think it's just his personality. Sorry to all you Floridians who didn't get to feel him do his thing!
After we left the midwife, we went to the perinatologist. BP was only 100/58.....makes me suspicious about the one from earlier.....Tobe is still head down (yay!) and will hopefully stay that way. He is also laying exactly as I thought - head down, arms and legs to the left, butt up in my liver! I'm starting to be able to feel shapes of body parts, but not too distinctly.
This was definitely the fastest ultrasound we have ever had - he finally decided to cooperate! He is now estimated at a whopping 5 lbs 2 oz!!!! I was literally in shock. I asked the nurse practitioner about it, and she reassured me that the further along we get, the more inaccurate the estimation is. This didn't really make me feel better. I did feel good that he's growing - but jumping from the 45th percentile to the 78th in 4 weeks is a little too much for this mommy to handle!
We did get some awesome 3D face pics, and I will post them as soon as I finish updating with everything that happened last week!
