On Monday I officially became a lady of leisure. Felt a bit weird not going into work on Monday morning, in fact it felt like I was having a "sickie".
On day 3 however, I have completely switched off from work and I am enjoying the time off, although believe it or not I have been busy! (still have managed to do a bit of baby shopping and catch up for coffee with friends of course!).
Monday afternoon I had my usual obstetrician appointment and it seems that Bubba G is on the smaller side according to the average (she is about just over 1 week behind). So the doc sent me to the hospital to get the baby monitored and brought forward my ultrasound appointment just to double check that the baby was not in distress. Result? Bubba G is completely healthy and although on the small side its absolutely fine. As of today (week 36) she is weighing approximately 2.5 kgs. According to the doc, if she continues to grow at the same rate then by the time she is born she should be about 3.2kgs. AND, if I haven't gone into labour by the due date (15th Dec) then the Obstetrician said she may have to induce me as she doesn't want me to go too many days overdue as the placenta won't be as effective and she wants to be cautious given the size of the baby.
Daddy was worried at first (of course!) but we have been reassured that our baby is super healthy, so that is all that matters!
Tomorrow.....a day of rest :)
