Doctor's Appointment

***Breaking Mommy News***

Great report from the Doctor today! Mary Katherine weighs approximately 8 lbs. 14 oz. and she is OVER 40 weeks according to the ultrasound machine measurements.

This puts her in the 90% percentile in relation to her size. Guess we're having a big ole baby!

We are scheduled to go in on Tuesday evening for preparation for a Wednesday delivery!!! :)

Latest Doctor Visit

We had a nice visit today at the OB.

First off, Shawn had an ultrasound to measure the fluid. All was just fine. Also, they measure Mary Katherine's heart rate. It was good.

Next, we were taken to a room to measure movement, heat rate and contractions. Mary Katherine slept through the first half of these measurements, so it took a little longer. All was fine with this evaluation.

Finally, we saw a Midwife. She encouraged Shawn to 'take it easy', to put her feet up for at least one hour, three times daily. She encouraged her to take a break after getting home rather than just going right in to fixing dinner. She encouraged her to work less and relax more.

We are progressing nicely and are right on track. Next Friday, we go for an ultrasound that will measure Mary Katherine's size. That should be interesting! :)
