Well, it's hard to believe that Jason and I are in our last month of our pregnancy...well I guess technically I have 6 weeks to go if I go full term. Jason has been busy with ICU so he hasn't been able to come to the last two doctors appointments, but thankfully next week is his last week and then he switches to Family Practice. He thinks that it will be a lot easier to get out of a little of his time at the office so that way he can come to these last few appointments with me...which I would appreciate.
Anyway, we had our appointment yesterday. Little L's heart rate was 132...he was resting as he should be with how active he was all day with me teaching. The big news of the day was that he finally flipped in the right direction! For a while now he had been laying transverse which means his head was in my left ribs and his bum was in my right. I was nervous because if he stayed that way for too long the doctors were going to have to try to turn him one way or another themselves, which doesn't sound to pleasing to me. Needless to say this was a big deal to me to find out that his head is down and bum up! I also found out that I have pregnancy induced carpel tunnel. I guess it's semi-common and it will go away shortly after little man is born. I also got a lecture on the importance of continuing to drink a lot of water (my fingers are starting to swell!) so now I will be carrying around my water bottle everywhere. I thought I had been doing very well with that, but apparently I was wrong. Everything else is looking really good I'm measuring right on track so for those of you considering going in on the upcoming baby pool keep that in mind.
Which brings me to my next thing. Jason had his meeting with his site coordinator and the other KCOM students this week and two of them gave him money for the baby pool. We had discussed doing one, but never really decided for sure if we wanted to go through the hassle of organizing it or not. I guess now that we are already getting money before we have everything organized we are going for it. We are going to do $1 for a two hour time slot the winner gets half of the money and the other half with go in Little L's college fund (that's right we are already thinking about his college fund!). So watch out of the post on pool so you don't miss out on a fun opportunity.
In other news Jason is doing very well. I think he's really getting ready to be done with this part of medical school. I know he's been feeling a little blah continuing with clinical rotations since March of last year, but he's been doing a good job of pushing through. The residency match is quickly approaching and he has to submit his rank list next week on Friday. I think we have it figured out what order we want to put everyone, but you never know with us lol. We have received some positive feedback from two of the locations for sure so I'm pretty sure they will be ranked high on our list. Once the match list is submitted then we wait....and wait.....and wait until Feb. 11th that's when we find out if we matched and on the 13th we find out where. I told Jason the stress of those few days is probably going to push me into preterm labor! So fingers crossed that we match and that Little L stays put until closer to his due date.
Cooper is doing very well. He had a wonderful time at Doggie Day Kamp while Jason and I went home for the holidays. Apparently while he was there he made a new little friend Lilly, so when we came to pick Cooper up he had to first go by her kennel and tell her good-bye. It was probably one of the cutest things that I have ever seen! He was pretty mellow the first week back at home. I think he was worn out from all the running and playing he got to do at Kamp. Now however, he is back to his normal self. I think he knows that big changes are coming and he's not going to be getting as much attention because he has been following Jason and I around everywhere we go and has been a little naughty too! I hope that this is only temporary and once the baby is here he will mellow out once again.
Well that's about all that's happening in our family! I hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday and are staying true to those New Year's Resolutions!
