Hello everyone - I am taking over the blog as I'm now on maternity leave and have more time to do things like this than Matt does. We have an appt. today at 1:30 and will find out then if this little guy will be making his appearance this week or next. At last week's appt., the doc said that he would induce me this week if I was dilated 2-3 cm. I would PREFER to try and go on my own before next week whether I'm dilated or not, but if my blood pressure is still high, we may be having this baby in the next couple of days. My bag is packed and so is the baby's - Matt still has to get his stuff together, but he should have time to pack it before we go to the hospital whether I'm induced or not.
I stopped gaining weight 2 weeks ago and I'm holding steady at 37 lbs. At least 10 of it is water weight in my swollen ankles, so all in all not too bad. I've still been having Braxton-Hicks contractions, but none of them have been intense enough to bother me. I've also been a little crampy, but it doesn't come and go like early labor pains, so basically nothing worthwhile is going on (that I can tell - we will know more after the appt.). I've also been much more tired lately and have been taking more naps, which the books say is just as likely as my wanting to nest and having tons of energy. His nursery is all ready to go and the house is clean, so I feel ready for him to be here. I did have the urge to clean the deck yesterday (scrubbing it with clorox and a brush to get the mold off), but after thinking of it for a few minutes, I became sleepy and took a nap :).
That's all for now - I'll do a new post when we get back from the doc. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!
