This evening marked my last bi-weekly appt and my first weekly one. They did the group b strep test and then because I'm measuring small (33 weeks) they gave me the non-stress test. That went pretty well. Baby had to be prodded a bit to wake him up. He's usually more active earlier in the day.
It's interesting that they decided to delve further into my measurements this time because at each appt I've been small. Maybe they hoped it'd catch up. Anyway, I'm not terribly worried because I have a long torso, which I think gives the baby more room.
After the non-stress test the doctor did a quick ultrasound to make sure there's enough fluid around him. At first she couldn't find enough, then she found a couple nice size pockets. She also asked me if we knew the baby's gender ... I said we thought it's a boy. She showed me the monitor which confirmed it 100%, ha ha. So, now the plan is to get a full ultrasound within the week just to make sure he's measuring appropriately. Funny since how accurate can that really be when they are often 2+ lbs off in their estimations? I won't argue though because it means getting to see our little guy again. :)
