I'm 36 weeks with 4 weeks to go. We had another doctor's appointment today, which went well. The baby's heartbeat was ranging from 145 bpm to 153 bpm. I actually lost a pound, which is good. I have been more conscious about what I'm eating (staying away from sodium) because at the last appointment I had gained several pounds from all the fluid I've been consuming. And my blood pressure was 120/68, which is normal.
We also found out that the baby's not coming anytime soon. My cervix is closed, which is good considering we're still surrounded by boxes from our move last week. At least I know I have some time before he decides to come..........no need to pack my hospital bag yet!
I also was tested for the Group B Strep Test. I'll find out the results next week, but this test is normal for all pregnant women at 36 weeks.
Another piece of good news is that my doctor has decided not to go on vacation the week of my due date. Yeah!
Well, we're still getting settled in our new house. We got the baby's furniture delivered yesterday and the baby's room is painted (thanks to Mike and his dad) so we're happy about that. We'll post pictures of it once it's done.
Thanks again for being here and following our blog. I have started my weekly appointments so the next one will be next Tuesday (5/12) at 10 am again and I'll provide an update after that one. At that point, I'll be 37 weeks and considered full-term! Yeah!
