Small Good Things (32w4d)

  1. The Boy passed his nonstress test, AFI and doppler check.  Repeat visit on Monday.  So it looks like I'll make it to at least 33 weeks... (When I asked her my OB said she was pretty sure he'd be delivered early...how early, she wouldn't venture a guess but said it's possible but unlikely I'll go all the way to 39 weeks.)
  2. My OB said that bed rest is useless.  The Boy's going to do what he's going to do.  So I'll rest as I want to but not get crazy about it. 
  3. Sometime yesterday I became aware that the Boy's head bulge wasn't jammed up in my right ribs but was somewhere closer to my side.  And then it seemed my belly had taken a different shape, and felt much heavier and there are movements in weird places from small baby parts.  Guess what?  Apparently he decided that ~3 months of being frank breech was enough, and he flipped over.  The ultrasound tech thinks he'll stay that way...but I'm not counting on it.
  4. I took The Boy out for ice cream, because the university ice cream place has the BEST strawberry ice cream in the whole world, and it's suddenly 79 degrees again.  Seriously.
  5. I had a productive morning, which makes up for the absolutely sluggish afternoon I've had.  But really how much can you accomplish when you're at the doctor's office for almost two hours?  Thankfully I have a fridge full of potential leftovers to feed LG, because I really don't feel like undertaking a large cooking project.
Sometimes it really is the small things that get you through the day, you know?

  1. These all sound like wonderful things to me! I hope he decides to stay put at least a few more weeks.
