Today we had another doctor's appointment and I am very excited to report that the baby is head down! The doctor told us that there is only a 4% chance that she will flip back to a breech position so it sounds like she is ready to go! I think the doctor felt bad because there was an emergency and we ended up waiting in the room for almost an hour so he was a little overly kind and helpful (according to Jason) He actually was my favorite doctor so far. I was joking with him because I gained almost 4 pounds in the last two weeks. He assured me that 32 weeks is a time when many women do this because of water retention and not to worry that it wasn't Thanksgiving food and it wasn't fat! I hope he wasn't just being nice :) Overall he said everything looks great and gave me some suggestions about the terrible leg cramps.
I must say leg cramps are my biggest complaint about pregnancy. They are terrible. I wake up in the middle of the night with terrible pain from cramping calves and then they are sore for the next 2-3 days. Ahhh! So hopefully his suggestions will work.
Today I also got my kick counting sheets so that I can monitor fetal movement and my "white sheets." The white sheets are just the papers from my chart that have all the information from each of my appointments and they want you to keep them with you at all times from 32 weeks on just in case you go into labor.
Wow! I guess things are moving along...
