^^Little Dude says "Hello!" from the porthole in my tummy... haha.^^

Today I had another doctors appointment. My fundal measurement (pubic bone up to top of uterus) is at 29 centimeters. At one centimeter a week - I am basically right on target. I was also up three pounds. Most people wouldn't get excited by this, but I do! I like getting weighed and seeing how much I have gained! My cervix was also measured again and I am holding steady at 2.8cm. 

The only other news from my appointment is that my doctor highly recommends that I just do another c-section instead of trying to VBAC. I am kind of saddened by this, but I guess in the end he is right. Why take an unnecessary risk. 

We also did another FFN test today. My one from two weeks ago was negative, so I am hoping this one will return with the same result. A negative result basically means no labor for me for the next two weeks - whoo hoo! Although a negative is good, a positive means nothing. Lots of women go long periods of time in their pregnancies with positive FFNs... 

I can't wait to meet Little Dude. He moves around all the time... I have been doing kick counts for my doctor and today he told me that if he kicks more than 10 times in an hour, to stop counting and do something else. I guess that is good because I have gotten up to 39 kicks before and at that point - it just gets boring!

Well, that is all here. As always, I will keep you posted!
