Pregnancy Update

Here are pix at 33 weeks. Only 7 more until D-Day! I went to my appointment this week and my doctor said that I haven't gained any weight since my last check up 2 weeks ago and that I am still measuring at 31 weeks. I went to a specialist to have a more detailed ultrasound to check our little girl and she measured 4 lbs 6 oz. That was perfect the doctor said. However her kidneys are a little bit dilated where she is retaining too much urine(fetal pyelectasis). The doctor said that it is a pretty common thing and that they would be checking her in 4 weeks to see if it has resolved. If it hasn't it should go away in the first few months after birth. We are really hoping because sometimes it doesn't. Please keep her in your prayers for us. Louis and I started taking a hypnobirthing class this week too and I love it! I highly recommend it as a relaxation technique to prepare for labor...hopefully it works for me! I am trying for an all natural VBAC- yikes!
