Long Day

Yesterday I had what was supposed to be a quick 34 week checkup. Curt had taken the day off, because I had originally thought that this week was Max's Spring Break, but I was mistaken and it's actually next week. So we took Max to MDO and Curt was able to come to my appointment with me.
At my last visit we had talked about Aspen's lack of movement and how I still wasn't feeling her a lot. I was trying not to worry because I knew that this late in the pregnancy movements can decrease a ton, so I just thought that was what was going on. But I've had many days where I couldn't get her to move hardly at all, and I was no where near getting the 5 kicks in an hour that you are supposed to get with kick counts.
I talked to my doctor about how I'm still having the contractions a lot so she checked me again. OMG!!!!! It hurt so so so bad! I really think I'm going to decline anymore internal checks for a while since I'm having a c-section because they just HURT! Plus, where everything is just so small down there (sorry tmi) I doubt I will actually have any dilation at all.
She said that by looking at my belly and her measurements of it, that Aspen looked like she was going to be a tiny baby. She asked how big Max was...he was a normal sized baby, 7lbs 7oz. So she ordered an ultrasound to make sure that everything was ok. She wanted to make sure that my fluid levels were good, because that can sometimes be an issue with lack of movements from baby, and that she is growing ok.
So Curt and I left to go eat lunch because we couldn't get into an u/s appointment until 3:30. He agreed to take me to my favorite restaurant for lunch, a little Persian restaurant downtown. It was SO good!! I could seriously eat there every.single.day.of.my.life!!!!
We then picked up Max from MDO and took him back to our house where Villie met us. She came over to sit with him while we were gone. I wish we could have taken him with us, because he would have LOVED it, but they have a strict policy about no children under 12 allowed in the ultrasound rooms. So she stayed with him while we went back to the doctor's office.
The ultrasound turned out to be SO awesome!! The lady turned the 4D ultrasound on and we got to see some really really cute images of our little girl!! It really was amazing to see her like that! Everything checked out perfectly too! Amniotic fluid levels were good and she was moving around like crazy!
Oh and the best news is, she's flipped head down finally!!! I have no idea when she did that, but it had to have been when sometime within the past few days. But I'm very excited about that!
So after everything was finished, we checked out and we went ahead and made the rest of my appointment for the next month. Can you believe I only have 4 appointments left until she gets here?! I'm on weekly appointments now until D-Day (Delivery Day). It's so hard to imagine that in 4 1/2 weeks I'll be holding my little girl in my arms!! It's SO surreal! I'm just ready for her to be here and for Max to meet her and for him to finally get to see his baby sister!
