It was only a few short hours before Dan and I returned to the hospital, this time for our last appointment with Dr. Smith before the due date! I was feeling a little emotional and nervous. Dan was feeling a little tired and grumpy. But of course we both had the biggest smiles on our faces when Dr. Smith walked in.
OHH... did I mention the baby's heart rate?
143
40
It's the best. I love my doctor because he doesn't even mention it anymore. My blood pressure was
118/78
A tad higher than usual due to my anxiety and that I had just stepped off the scale... but still healthy as can be, thank goodness. Dan and I sat down in subwaiting and he asked, "How much do you weigh?" I started to cry. The doctor was so proud that was I continuing to progress. I am already dilated to
3!
Go us (me&baby). The next seven can feel free to come this easy. Dr. Smith thinks that I will have the baby on Monday or Tuesday, but not before Saturday (when my mommy & daddy get into town!) Baby is being so cooperative. Such a good little boy. Only a few more days and we will get to see that precious little face... oh my goodnesssssssss.
You may have gained 40 pounds but it looks like you've gained 4. Seriously I never would have known. And it really doesn't matter anyway because your little babe will suck it right out of you. It's the best. Reading all this makes me miss being pregnant! It was so fun. I didn't know you were going to stop working. Being a stay at home Mom is THE BEST. You will be amazing!
ReplyDeleteYay for a last day of work!! Will you go back after 3 months? Or do you plan to stay home? I gained 40 lbs with my first 2 pregnancies too. It'll come off quickly, no worries!! That's great you're dilated to a 3. I never made it that far at any of my appointment, whoohoo!!!
