Daddy’s better, Connor moved to the other side of “his world”, and Mommy might be getting sick…

I finally went back to work today and was feeling well enough to sing to Connor tonight.  I can’t seem to get him to move like I could before — I think he is running out of room in there!

A few days ago Victoria mentioned that Connor had shifted.  When the doctor checked his position the last two weeks, Connor’s head was down and he was curled up the left side of Victoria’s belly (back facing out).  Victoria said she thought he had shifted to the right side with his back facing out on that side (head still down).  After some prodding and feeling around, the doctor agreed with Victoria (leave it to a Mother’s intuition).

Victoria is still 1 cm dilated and about 40% effaced (no change since last week).  I asked the doctor if she thought he might come early and she didn’t give us any feeling that he would.  So, 16 days to go as of tomorrow.

Victoria’s leg’s are not nearly as swollen as they have been and probably are the best they have looked in nearly a month or so.  They did indicate that her blood pressure was high for the first time during the pregnancy and want her to come back in Friday for a follow up reading and urine sample.  They didn’t seem overly concerned especially since her urine test came back fine (like it has been all along).  Probably just being cautious.

Victoria has developed a few coughs and a sinus congestion.  Hopefully it is not what I had, which kept me down for about 5 days.  We both received the flu shot this year (even though I don’t trust it), so she and Connor are as protected as they can be.

Hopefully she will be fine and Connor will join us soon (when we are healthy and rested).
