So after my lovely birthday, I followed it up with a lovely Philadelphia Film Fest, followed by a lovely Tribeca Film Fest which ended just yesterday. Back in DE now where I intend to stay put until this baby comes. Just a quick catch up on the baby. Baby is doing well and growing (and growing and growing). The placenta previa moved up and so there is no current worries that I might have to have a c-section at this time The only real new news is that now I have to go in for weekly sonograms called Bio-Physical Profiles. Basically the tech watches the baby for up to a half hour and makes notes of it's movements, basically assuring that all is well in there. Afterwards the baby gets scored (I can't believe they are already putting performance anxiety on my little one before he/she is out of utero but thus is the way of the world I guess...) and if the baby "passes" then I don't have to see the doctor that week.
The only reason I have to do these at all is that dreaded AMA (Advanced Maternal Age) stamp they gave me at the beginning of my pregnancy. So annoyed that I am just on this side of that randomly chosen borderline. :P
Anyway, baby looks good. Chubby cheeks, possibly some hair. Unfortunately the machine they use is super slow so the second you get a clear image of the baby, the tech pushes the button but the pic comes out all blurry b/c it takes a second to get the shot and by then baby has moved on to riverdancing on moms ribs or sucking on it's fist or something else.
