Home Stretch

Well we only have a little over a week left!!! Thankfully!! I am not sure if my feet can take much more of this swelling.

I went to the doctor on Monday and unfortunately I have high blood pressure. I think it was a fluke though. I checked my blood pressure on Saturday and it was 106/60. I went and bought a blood pressure monitor and I am now psychotically checking my blood pressure every chance I get. This morning it was 102/59 so I think I am fine. It must have been the 2 hours of walking outside I did right before my appointment. Yeah, I know I will cut that out. It was great to hear Cory tell me that I am completely off the hook for anything around the house!! He told me that I have to come home and put my feet up and do nothing!! Wahoo!!! Free ticket to be lazy!!!

Baby update: Well that little stinker is not dropping. =( She is nice and cozy up there squeezing my bladder like it is her favorite toy and kicking my ribs like a bongo drum. Oh well, one last appointment on the 27th and we will see if she is ready to make her great public debut.

Doctors, Doctors, Doctors

I went to see my doctor again on Monday. I was hoping that she would magically make everything progress, but it looks like nothing has happened. The baby is still head down, but not ready for the world quite yet. Have I told you that I am not a huge fan of surprises. This anticipation is killing me. Not knowing when it is going to happen. At any moment I am going to seriously pee my pants in public and take the largest poop of my life!!! I went ahead and packed my bag just in case if anything does happen, I am secretly hoping that if I get prepared the universe will understand that I am ready and we can go ahead with this labor thing. But I guess I will just have to wait.
I did meet with a Pediatrician yesterday and he is awesome - Dr. Bill!! I know that I am going to be one of "those" parents, always calling about the smallest little tiny thing. So, Laura, Dad you guys need to be prepared for those 2am calls from me asking if their poop is actually supposed to look like that OR is that little tiny freckle on their bottom a rash or just a freckle? I do like the fact that when I do call after hours at the Pediatrician's office I will get either one of the Doctors, NOT a nurse, medical assistant or answering service. Dr. Bill and Dr. Pete rotate calls and answer any questions themselves. I told him I would try my best to keep the calls to a minimum, but it's their mistake for not charging for any after hours calls. =)

Home Alone!!!

I am trying to relax and enjoy probably my last quite weekend. Cory and the pup are off at Lake Summerville for his family reunion, I completely forgot about it and ended up scheduling an event for this weekend. So I do have to work, but at least I get to enjoy peace and quite. This is one of my favorite events, the Mother Son Luau. The boys and moms have a great time spalshing in the pools and playing fun games, makes me wish I was having a boy. However, the Daddy Daughter Dance makes me cry every year and I know I am going to loose it when Cory is there with our little lady.

Baby Update: I have finished taking all of my prenatal classes from the Hospital. I feel far more informed, not ready, but informed. I did find out that I am a fantastic swaddler, that's a plus! However, I am still not 100% on the whole diaper thing. How far back does it go? How far in the front? So many questions. My poor kid will probably be wearing a diaper on her head! And the poop, I won't disgust you with the poop, but if I have to see one more picture! ech!
