37 Weeks

I had my 37 weeks' appointment on Thursday. Everything was normal. The heartbeat was in the 130's and the baby is still head-down. My Group B Strep results were negative, so I won't have to receive antibiotics during labor and delivery. Pretty routine appointment, which is always fine by me. My doctor says everything is looking good, which I always want to hear. I still have heartburn every now and then, but a Tums usually takes care of that. I'm feeling really good but am more anxious than ever for D-day to arrive. I want to see our baby in person and can hardly wait. Patience has never been my strongest virtue. But, everyone keeps saying it will be here before I know it. I hope so. Less than 3 weeks until my due date! Happy Memorial Weekend!

36 Weeks

I've finally reached month 9! Yippee! I had my 36 weeks' visit yesterday. The baby's heartbeat was in the 140's. I was also informed that I wasn't dilated at all yet (which is okay by me) and the baby was in the head-down position, which is good. So, everything is going well. Lee and I also attended Lamaze class this past weekend. It was interesting. Learned some breathing and relaxation techniques, although when those labor pains hit, I'll be lucky to remember any of it. But, the class was informative, and we got to tour the labor and delivery wing of Meritcare, so that was cool. All in all, things are still going well. Fingers crossed that it stays that way. 4 weeks until my due date!

34 Weeks Picture

Well, finally got another picture taken and uploaded. I'm at 34 weeks and still feeling pretty good. I never thought I would see the inside of my bellybutton, though. Weird! Next weekend, Lee and I get to attend Lamaze classes at Meritcare. That should be interesting. Just a little over a month until my due date!

34 Weeks

I had my 34-week appointment on Tuesday. I should have updated sooner, but it's been crazy at work and I'm still doing homework at night, so I keep forgetting. But anyway, everything was good. The baby's heartbeat was in the 140's this time. My weight gain is good, and my abdomen measured 34 cm. Dr. Rondeau said to keep up the good work. It hasn't been too difficult. I'm still pretty comfortable, and the heartburn hasn't been as bad lately. Knocking on wood for that one. :) The baby has been pretty active, so that's also a good sign. Every now and then I can feel a knee or something sticking out, so that's a little weird but in a good way. Anyhow, I will try to take another profile picture sometime soon. Just another thing I keep putting off and forgetting. Well, I shouldn't complain too much. If I think I'm busy now, just wait... Only 6 more weeks until my due date!
