Today I am 36 weeks and 1 day pregnant, officially in the 9th month of pregnancy. I went to the Dr. today, which is the first of what will now be weekly visits. I gained 4 lbs in the last two weeks, however some of that is water weight, making the total weight gain 23 lbs. My ankles have been swelling quite a bit everyday, but luckily go down once I get my feet up at night. My blood pressure is still looking good, and the baby's heart beat is wonderful. I am dilated 1 cm, and Dr. Putman says I probably won't make it to my due date. I'm fine with going early, but everyone at work isn't as fine if that means having a baby in May. These next 2 weeks at work are going to be completely nuts!! We're going to need to pass both an operating budget and a capital budget, plus the revenue to support all of it!! I am one of two people on our staff that does all the budget drafting, so I know they really want me to stick around to see this project through. I've been extremely tired this last week, and the late hours aren't helping. As a result, I was told to take tomorrow off work. This works out well, because now Adam and I can make the 5 hour trip to Ohio to see my little brother, Jordan graduation from Xavier University!!! Please say a prayer that the car ride goes smoothly. I'm can't imagine how many times we are going to have to stop for me to pee. Guess I won't be drinking a fountain Pepsi in the car!!!
Days are quickly ticking away and before we know it, we'll finally get to meet this little baby that is moving around like crazy in Mommy's belly and causing quite a bit of heart burn!! I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions lately too. So, that's the latest baby happenings!! We'll continue to keep you posted!
