We had a checkup this morning. It was with a labor and delivery nurse from the hospital since Dr. Labban is on Christmas break. Everything was fine. My blood pressure was a little high for me, but still healthy (124/72). The nurse said it's likely because I'm swelling a little and that it's typical for your blood pressure to start running a little high at the end of pregnancy. She wasn't concerned about it. Baby's heartbeat sounded good and she said she could tell he was moving around in there from the doppler!
Also, I asked if she could tell if he was head down or not, but she couldn't really tell either. Her best guess was that he was not exactly head down, but kind of at a diagonal angle. But we've rescheduled the ultrasound for January 4th and hopefully by then he'll be settled into a good position. Either way, the nurse said we have plenty of time and shouldn't be concerned. And that even if he isn't in the right position, there are things we can do to get him there and that we both seem healthy and should be fine. So I'm not too worried. I would like to know how he's positioned in there though.
Also it's crazy to think that I'm 8 months pregnant. I'm going to have a baby soon. Like, for real. So weird.
