Doctor visit today

Abbie and I visited the doctor today for what will now be the weekly checkup until delivery. Everything is going well according to our doctor...Dr. Hawes. So far we both really like him. He has an excellent bedside manner, and he has been more than happy to answer all of our questions. We heard the baby's heartbeat. I think it has gotten slower since we first heard it, and that makes sense. Dr. Hawes did a Strep B test which we will get the results from next week. He said Abbie was not dilated any more than last exam two weeks ago, and also that he thought the head was turned down.

Abbie has gained more weight, but is still looking fantastic! Her belly button is almost gone, but her tummy is smooth as can be. You can feel the tightness when she has contractions (for those of you who don't know, you actually have contractions for quite some time before the real labor begins). Of course, you can also both see and feel the baby move around. It is unbelievable!

We discussed names a bit more tonight, although mostly boys names. We seem to have a bit more difficulty selecting those. Anyway...the beat goes on! Any day now!
