A lot to update

I spent three hours at the doctor/hospital this morning. Here's what happened:

* I'm back up to 22 pounds gained.
* Ultrasound showed what we already knew -- Baby Richardt is huge. He's still measuring about four weeks ahead. Doctor isn't too worried. It just sounds like we'll just have a really big baby.
* Blood pressure was a little high. Doctor didn't seem too concerned, but did send me up to labor and delivery to be monitored. Blood pressure was perfectly normally up in labor and delivery.
* Baby is no longer breech.
* For the first time, we were able to see baby's face. He's got Dan's nose and huge lips. Dan thinks he looks like he did when he was a baby.
* The non-stress test went great. Heartbeat is fantastic. Baby really likes to move.
* Labs came back completely normal.
* Contractions have stopped...for now.
* Uterus is completely closed.
* Still, it doesn't sound it would be all that unusual for me to go into labor at any time. Doctor said if it happens in the next week or so, she would stop it. After that, I'm giving birth. I better get my bag packed.
* While we're still planning for a natural birth, a scheduled c-section is sounding more like a possibility. The plan is still to make it to 39 weeks. Dan and I are both pretty doubtful that will happen. This morning, the doctor sounded less sure as well.
* The doctor is worried about me being too tired. She said with the size of the baby and the size of the fibroid, my body is really having to work hard. She's only allowing me to work four hours a day. My next appointment is a week from Wednesday. We'll re-evaluate then, but I would be a little surprised if it changes.
