34 week update

Had my doctor appointment today. Dexter's heartbeat is upper 130s/lower 140s which is good. He, as of today, is head down - but with 6 weeks to go he can always move around some. My latest hemoglobin was a whopping 9.9 up from 9.8 a month ago. We will repeat another one when I am actually in labor, especially if I require a C-section they will want to closely monitor that.

As for how I am feeling - generally I feel good. He still loves kicking my right ribcage which causes some discomfort. A couple days ago I woke up to swollen hands and since then my finger joints hurt and that has limited one of my sources of exercise - doing any yoga position which requires my hands on the ground hurt my hands to bad to do now. Good thing is the weather has improved some lately so I am able to go for more walks outside as a nice source of exercise along with my Wii Fit.

In 2 weeks is my big 36 week visit. I will officially be in month 9 then! I will get my final growth ultrasound, I will see my doctor and fill out hospital admission paperwork/tour the L&D floor.
