Doctor's Visit - 36th Week

Folks, we are in our final month/approach! As I'm typing this post, we are less than 4 weeks away from meeting Alicia for the first time! We were at the Doctor's again today, and this is what Dr. Chen had to say:
  • Although we think Amy's tummy is smaller than last time when she was carrying Addison, Dr. Chen measured and predicted that Alicia will NOT be 'light' when she's born.  He said that the second one is usually a bit heavier.  "Whatever!"  I thought.
  • Now that the pregnancy has reached the 36 weeks mark, if there's any sign of labor, he will perform the C-section.  Whereas if the pregnancy is less than 36 weeks, he would sustain the contraction to keep the baby inside the tummy longer, if possible.
  • Alicia's heartbeat was measured at 155 beats per minute

Other than that, it was just a short visit, and we are schedule to return next week!
