33 Weeks.....8 Months!!!

Baby H and I have now hit the 8 month mark. At 33 weeks, Baby H is weighing a little over four pounds and is just over 17 inches long. Luckily, I was right and I got the good news at my appointment last week that Baby H is head down. The nurse practitioner was able to tell that our little girl is positioned with her back and butt running along the left side of my body and her arms and legs extended toward my right side, kind of in a half moon shape. This explains why I feel like the right side of my body is a punching bag!

As for what is going on with my doctor fiasco.....I was able to get an appointment last Tuesday with a nurse practitioner in the practice. Prior to going in, Chad and I decided I would just stay with my current practice because the hospital is really good and all of the other doctors have very good reviews. When I met with the nurse practitioner she was very nice and told me they were counseling all of old doctor's patients regarding their options. I explained that I did research on my own and if possible I would like to switch to another doctor in the practice. Luckily the doctor I requested is available and I have my first appointment with her on Tuesday. The rest of the appointment went very well. I am measuring right on track and my blood preasure and the baby's heartbeat are all good.
