38 weeks

Here I am yesterday at 38 weeks. Had a doctor appointment. Everything went well. My blood pressure was high, but after I laid down for a few minutes, it was back down. The nurse said my body just needed a little rest. There was no protein in my urine, so no reason to be concerned. (I'm probably just having a little anxiety about having a baby again in just over a week!) The baby's heartbeat was 138, 140. Doctor said it sounded like a happy baby. I asked a few questions about the C-section procedure. If I don't start going into labor before the 13th, I will go to the hospital on that day two hours before the surgery, which will either be at 7:30, 8:30, or 9:30. I should know the Friday before which time I will get. I'm kind of hoping it's not the 7:30. That's pretty early for us to be up! Oh well. I guess I was up most of the night having contractions with Becky. Why not be up half the night with this one too? Getting so excited for baby to come.

Just for fun . . . here is a picture of me when I waas 38 weeks pregnant with Becky.  I'm not at quite the same angle, but I think it's fun to see how big I was with her too!
