Weekly Appt Update

Just got back from my appt. with the midwife and all is well. Not much is new. Baby seems to be doing great. His heart rate is strong. My blood pressure is good and I'm measuring right on for 37 weeks. The baby is a little lower - the midwife couldn't move his head much when she tried. However, he still hasn't dropped. Although Kristin did tell us to be prepared from any point onward now. She also said that while swelling was once thought to be a bad thing, now "they" say that it can actually be a good thing since the additional fluid helps if you experience blood loss during labour. This information doesn't make it any less uncomfortable - but at least gives it a purpose. My next appointment is Tuesday the 25th.

I just found out that a lady in my prenatal yoga class, who incidentally had both the same due date and same midwife as myself, had her baby on Easter Sunday. Which gives me one less thing to obsess about - since I was convinced we were both going to go into labour at the exact same moment and I would end up with a midwife I didn't know as well. Although this information also makes me a little more anxious because I am ready for the baby to come. I figure every day he waits - he is just getting bigger and bigger ...
