37 weeks

Reminder-- click above on the ExpectNet.com icon and guess Peanut’s Gender. There are other fun things like weight, time and date as well.

How far along?: 37wks 2days. I had Jace at 37wks3days. Nylin was 2 days late but we won’t even think about that.

Total weight gain: this week- 2 total pregnancy-31. The doctor thinks that Peanut gained about ½ lb and the other 1.5 is water. I was quite swollen. I cannot complain though. I have made it this far without swelling! That is good. With Jace and Nylin I swelled around 32 weeks.

Appointment update: Jason and Jace took me to my weekly appointment on Wednesday. They just love being able to hear Peanut’s heartbeat and I love that they can hear it. Peanut’s HB was steady at 140. That was just about the only normal thing that happened though.

They found a trace of protein in my urine, my HR was super high and my blood pressure was through the roof at 140/100. YIKES!
The doc thought it could have a lot to do with what has been going on around here this week. (Jason to the ER on Sunday, Jace surgery on Monday and then BACK to the ER with Jace on Tuesday night) When I got to my appt on Wednesday I had only had about 4 hours of sleep and I was worried about my boys).

The doctor loves me so much she let me come home to rest and monitor my BP myself. She could have sent me to the hospital and had me be monitored for 4+ hours. I am SO GLAD she let me come home. My BP is still high but not AS HIGH. If it goes over the previous numbers I have to call.

She also checked me and realized my mucous plug is gone. Gross I know. She also said that Peanut’s head was RIGHT THERE. I knew that. I have had to pee 1million plus times a day and I am feeling pressure. I am still dilated to 2 and she did not tell me about effacement.
She did tell me that she did not think I would make it to my 38 wk appt. You know that means I will go to 42 weeks right? LOL
Sleep: still sucks

Movement: A LOT!!

Gender: Surprise

Food cravings: Margarita’s

Labor signs: nothing worth while
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting my little Peanut!

Next appointment: May 19th. I am not going to go though. I swear if I am still pregnant I am protesting. LOL just kidding. Sorta.
