37 weeks
Today I hit 37 weeks! My blood pressure is great - 120/70, fundal height is exactly 37 cm. I weighed myself on Wednesday and was 175. So I have gained between 18 and 23 pounds depending on how you count - either way, perfect perfect.
I've been having a few more leg cramps, and am starting to get more uncomfortable. The past two days I have been queasy and having loose stools. That can be a sign of the body prepping for labor, and while I *can* have the baby now at home safely - I'd prefer to wait at least another week. So stay where you are Blueberry! I got stuff to do!
I am carrying like a basketball smuggler.
The Blueberry is still head down, and usually has his butt up in my ribs and his feet in my left side. Sometimes his feet are in my upper ribs under my stomach. He moves a lot. I don't notice it unless I pay attention. But he moves vigorously enough that other people can see it from across a room.
Here is a picture of me at 36 weeks and a few days .... It's *rather* goofy. Have you programmed the number for CPS into your cellphone to report me yet? Good ;)
36 weeks!
This is me at 36 weeks, and a couple of days. At ZombieCrawlNYC. Oh, kid - am I embarrassing you yet?! :)
At yesterday's MW appointment, my midwife met my doula. So that's all good and taken care of.
