36 Week Checkup

Had my 36 week check up today. Things are still looking good. When the doctor did her usual routine of listening to the baby's heartbeat, it seemed to slow down. Since that can indicate low levels of amniotic fluid, she had me do a test where they hooked me up to a monitor for 20 minutes to record the baby's heartbeat. Turns out that she happened to catch baby at an active moment and the "drop" in her heartbeat was really a return to her normal rate. It was fun to listen to her, though!

In other baby news, we got an awesome stroller in the mail yesterday. Brian put it together last night and already wants to take it for a spin! But, we have no idea who sent it to us. If you got it for us, THANK YOU!!! Now we really are ready for baby to come (though I'm hoping she stays in there for a few more weeks)!!

So glad baby is still handling things so well in her cozy water home. May she stay put...'til the 15th!

Ok, so that stroller was from us. :) Since it shipped from a seller other than Amazon we couldn't include a message with it. We hope you enjoy it! I have been so impressed that you continued running so far into your pregnancy and I thought that you'd enjoy having the stroller to get back into it once Baby K gets here.
