36 weeks 2 days
Where does these weeks go? I had my doctor's appointment this afternoon. I am happy to say I didn't gain any weight and my blood pressure was good 130/70. My urine came back fine and now all I am waiting to here is about the strep b test. For all of you who have never had this... don't worry! It didn't hurt at all and was done in a few seconds. I couldn't believe that was it.
They checked and I am happy to say.......... she is head down! YIPPEEE. They gave me the drill of when to call and what to watch for and then said when ever she is ready so are we.
It felt so weird hearing that. You mean we don't stop anything? Is it that time already? SLAP, (OUCH, I GUESS I NEEDED THAT!) what a wake up call. All I have to do is back our bag and we are all set. I am working on laundry so I hope to have that task done by tomorrow. I still can't believe that it's that time and it is safe for her to come whenever she is ready.
I must celebrate another milestone. As of today we have everything for her. We picked up her crib last night, which was all we left to get. Tonight Todd is going to start assembling everything ;) I am so excited to get it all put in the right place and then her room will be complete...well... except for her not being here.
I am so lucky, the only real pains that I am having is my feet and occasionally lower back pain. As long as my hubby lotions my feet and rubs them every night I am okay. I think it's because I get a massage every 3 weeks. I highly recommend it to anybody who is pregnant, no matter what week you are in. It has helped with all the stress I have had and it helps my body to stay relaxed.
Till next time...
