## Caption

Only a few so-psyched-we’re-squinty post-appointment selfies left! Baby Cristiano is officially due ONE MONTH from today! According to today’s scan (high five for our midwife’s office being open on a Sunday!), little girl is measuring around 4 lbs. 9 oz., and everything looks good. She’s head down (yay!), her breathing movements “look perfect” (super yay!), and she’s probably cute, but she continues to cover her little face with her little hands, so 🤷🏼‍♀️. (Also fun fact, that Group B Strep Test you do at 35-36 weeks? Not a throat swab!)
.
Behind the goofy grin: I was actually nervous for today’s appointment. I haven’t been nervous since we got past the Week 12 appointment, but baby has been measuring small for a little while now, and even though the midwife and doctors and amazing ultrasound technician (I’m obsessed with her) have assured me everything looks great, it has started to worry me a bit. I’m afraid our baby hasn’t been able to grow big and strong because I have Crohn’s disease and haven’t been able to get her enough nutrients. The professional reassurance — that that’s not the case — helps a LOT. (The Internet forums, less so!) I know she still has plenty of time to gain weight and that she isn’t THAT small and that this isn’t concerning — just the usual Crohn’s-related thoughts that consume my brain! From here on out, I’ll have weekly check-ins. And this baby is going to be here REALLY SOON! (And it’s fall and the weather is amazing and I took a really great nap this morning.)
