Baby Update

I just finished with our 37-week check-up and we are AWESOME.

- Little One is totally head down, and the ‘bump’ at the top of my uterus is actually LO’s butt. How cute.
- I’m still gaining weight (I think I’m almost +30 for this pregnancy) but that’s not cause for concern.
- The weird pains on Tuesday were indeed Braxton-Hicks contractions.
- My blood pressure is right where it should be.

We’re just now waiting around for Little One to decide it’s time to breathe air.

An older nurse took care of my vitals today, and we were talking about general pregnancy discomforts and whatnot. I mentioned that I felt better at this point with Elise’s pregnancy than this time around, and she asked how old Elise was. I told her 18 months, and she replied “Oh, my goodness; you are going to have your hands full.” We get that a lot any more.

But before I could say anything, she continued on with “and you know what, you’re going to be just fine.”

I totally wanted to give that nurse a hug, but I figured that may kind of weird her out. I think she picked up on my grateful “thank you for not wanking!” response, though.
