Week 9 of HRC. It was nice not having an appointment last week. It's really a drag to hustle around getting ready in the morning so that we get there on time, only to have to sit and wait for half an hour or more. I understand that there are other women who are having a lot more trouble than I am, but it would still be nice to have at least one appoinment where we show up, get in get out and go home in less than half an hour. But enough whining.

I am 34 weeks this week. We've made it to our second goal, the average gestational age at delivery for babies who've had fetal surgery. Here's hoping we keep going and make it to 37 weeks. I had my first NST this morning. Alison passed with flying colors. I'll have one every week now, before my regular appointment. My regular appointment today was fine. My blood pressure was ok. I gained 2 1/2 pounds. Still no swelling (yay!). Alison's heart rate was in the 160's and I'm measuring 3 weeks ahead now.
