26 Week Appointment

This week we had our 26 week appointment.  Things continue to look really good.  Shani's belly is measuring 26cm (right on with the week we are) and baby's heart-rate was 144 bpm.  We got to hear his little heart beating with the fetoscope again.  The midwives were a little surprised that we've been able to hear with the stethoscope because of how small he still is.  We are going with the fact that he's already got a good heart (as opposed to him being big).  The baby is still head down and we hope he stays that way.  They are pretty certain he will, but said we'll have a better idea at our next appointment.  He's already presenting in the optimal position for birth (Left Occiput Anterior), although it's likely he'll keep flip-flopping around.  The midwives contribute a lot of his good positioning due to the fact that Shani's job has her up and active, not sitting for long periods of time.  We are just happy that things are continuing to look good and healthy!
