Weight: 148. I now weigh more than Steve’s little (20yr old) brother, haha. Total weight gain of 32 pounds.

Blood pressure: 110/62

Fundal height: 35 — he’s moving down, she said

Pregnancy Week 37: Full Term!!

It’s a huge relief to be at 37 weeks and to be considered full term! As of today (this post is really late!) I’m 263 days (94.3%) of the way though with only 17 days to do! Ahhh!!! It’s SO CLOSE I can’t even believe it.

Doctor appointment: ultrasound news!

Yesterday morning I had my week 30 doctor appointment…

Weight: 138.4 — that’s up 6 pounds from 3 weeks ago. Yep, I like to go above and beyond. When they say gain 1 lb a week, I obviously go for 2. That makes a total weight gain so far of about 22 pounds.

Blood pressure: 110/70. Normal, but I thought it was high because at my last appt it was 92/52! The nurse said it was probably high because she had just told me I needed to

Week 23 doctor appointment

We got to meet our doctor today! She was wonderful… very easy to talk to and very relaxed. I loved her answers to all of my questions:

Q: Opinion on episiotomies? A: Only if absolutely necessary… given to only about 5 – 10%.

I was happy to hear this because I have been thinking that I’d need one for sure (as a precaution), but they won’t do it just to do it. And I’m glad.

Q: Opinion on epidurals? A:
