37 week appointment

I had my 37 week check up this morning. It went really well, I was in and out in about 30 minutes. My blood pressure was back down to normal and my weight even dropped slightly (just over half a pound so not a lot). This time the doctor was concerned that I was losing weight, but we both agreed that I was a lot less swollen this week so that was probably to account for the loss. I'm still not dilated at all so she went ahead and agreed to wait till the 21st for the c-section. I will see her again next Friday for the final time pre-Judah, of course this is all if I don't go into labor on my own. I'm off the medication so contractions could come even more now but I think I will still be taking it pretty easy to hold out as long as possible. Grommy and Poppy (my mom and Larry) will arrive in one week (well really late next Friday night) and I am really excited. I really want to have some time to spend with them before heading to the hospital. My mom and I are planning to get a pedicure and maybe go sit at Starbucks for some girl time. It's been a long year of no mommy/daughter time. Of course once Judah is born they will be here to spoil Kirby and Bennett rotten--and I know they will.

I spent a little time in the pool yesterday, got a little burned but not bad. The doctor said to keep this up--well not the sunburn part--as much as I feel up to because it will give my muscles and joints a chance to move and stretch without the strain of weight from my very large baby belly. I think that is one order from the Dr. I can definitely adhere to. No problem!

No picture again...I promise to at least post one right before I have him. Just not a fan of the camera right now.
