38 weeks

Last doctor's appointment today. My blood pressure was up, but could be because I am on Sudafed for congestion. Doctor didn't seem to be concerned about it at this point, but I need to keep an eye on it.

I am down another pound. Not sure how I lost 2 pounds in two weeks. Seems odd to me. But, my belly is measuring exactly at 38 weeks.

So, all systems are a go for Sunday. C-section here we come. We get to meet the new babe in just a matter of days now.

stats

We had our 37 week checkup today. And things are still looking 'on target'.

Momma's Weight - lost 1 pound. Total weight gain is 21 pounds per the doctor visits
Blood pressure - still within normal/acceptable range 124/84
Belly - measuring 37 cm at 37 weeks

She checked my cervix and said it is still closed. So not really close to going into labor - which is good.

C-section is scheduled for 9.20.09 at 9:15 a.m. We should get to meet this little girl in 11 days. One last checkup next Wednesday before we deliver.

My two obsessions - Etsy and Craigslist.

Here is what I am buying from Etsy.

She is going to make it in lavender for me with the white flower. I'm hoping it will make a good picture in front of the 'tree'. :)
