Perinatal Appointment Update

Ok, so after my doctor's appointment two weeks ago, I got a call from Dr. McBride's nurse saying that the doctor wanted me to see the Perinatologist to be sure that Reagan is growing properly. The appointment was this afternoon, and everything looked good. The technician said that Reagan is measuring just "right where she should be"...she's about 4lbs. 11oz., which means she's gained almost one pound in two weeks. So, if she continues to grow at this rate, she could put on 3 more pounds in the six weeks I have left.
Anyway, we'll keep following up in Dr. McBride's office with NSTs and ultrasounds. I can breathe easier now, knowing that she's growing, and hopefully she'll keep right on growing!
OH, and I think she's dropped already. I feel like my "baby belly" looks completely different today. It's about an inch or two lower, and Reagan's head was MUCH lower during the ultraound today. I wonder if that means that she's almost ready to arrive... As long as she's healthy, I wouldn't mind meeting her in 3 or 4 weeks instead of 6. I guess we'll see!
