Doctor’s Visit – 38th Week

Today is our last visit to Dr. Chen’s office before the big event!  Nothing really special happening other than the usual tests.  Dr. Chen measured Alicia’s heartbeat and it was beating in the mid-130’s.

“This is a sign of a very calm and mature heart rate.”

“Really!?  Maybe you should measure mine!”  I thought.

Dr. Chen also pushed his fingers into Amy’s lower tummy, and tried to get a sense of ‘how far down’ is Alicia.

“Oh, the baby is all the way down!  Very good!”

Dr. Chen also held Amy’s hands and showed her to feel Alicia’s head by pressing into her own tummy. 

Poor Alicia, she must be thinking what’s going on outside!

It’s a very short visit and I got a sense that Dr. Chen still believe that Alicia will arrive early.  Time can only tell!
