38 weeks 5 days ultrasound

I had my second appointment with a midwife at Nepean on Tuesday. I found her to be a little abrupt for my liking but she wasn't rude. I suppose that's the luck of the draw when using the public system and they deal with so many women every day you become a bit of a number. She took my blood pressure which was a little elevated again as it has been for the past 4-5wks and then got me to hop up on the bed to have a listen to bubs heart & check positioning & fundal measurement. She took the fundal measurement and said "your 34. You have to go for an ultrasound". That's what kind of put me off, just not used to that kind of abrupt manner I would rather be informed & the reason explained not just instructed like I have no choice. Bubs heart rate was perfect at 130.

So I was a excited and a little anxious about the scan today, i think that's normal though to worry they'll find something wrong. But everything was great and Bub is very healthy and a good size so no small baby here... hmm there goes my hopes for a neat little 6lb as the estimated size for bub is 7lb 6oz! Not sure how close to accurate those estimates are?

So we are both pretty happy with the results and just back to waiting now...Not long to go!
We parked a few blocks away from the hospital to avoid paying for parking & on the way back to the car walking through the hospital grounds I cut my foot when I collected a sharp stick between my thong and my foot. That hurt, when I looked down there was a big scratch. I kept walking but it was kind of worse than I thought and I had blood running down the side of my foot. So I walked as far as I could and just told Paul to get the car & come pick me up before I tripped over and really hurt myself. I felt a bit annoyed at his insensitivity, I just can't keep up his pace at 39 weeks pregnant! maybe now he will realise that's because I have an added 3.4 kilo baby pulling on my back as you wouldn't think so to look at me. I wonder myself? must be pretty squashed up in there.

Ooh and Yes it is still a surprise!
