Okay, I've decided that I'm not going to look at another scale until I am admitted to the hospital to have this little girl! I always feel great until I go to the doctor and they tell me the number of pounds that they are going to put beside my name in my official health records!! For instance, the number that they wrote down yesterday is 6 pounds more than that they wrote just 3.5 weeks ago...and 32 pounds more than what they wrote 28 weeks ago! So, I'm done...no more looking at the scale at home or at the doctor. Let me just be ignorant - I feel good that way!
Other than the weight issue (which the doctor didn't even mention), the doctor's appointment was fine yesterday...baby's heartbeat = 154bpm, my blood pressure = 128/78 (or something like that - I'm officially not "good" with numbers anymore), and I took my 1 hour glucose test. I have no doubt that will come out fine. The doctor said they'd call if there was an issue with either my blood sugar levels or my iron levels.
One kinda weird thing about my visit yesterday is I felt like she was wrapping up my pregnancy. Like, I'm for real pregnant and we are approaching the end of said pregnancy. That was my first real feeling that I may be getting towards the end. She talked to me about pain control methods while she measured my belly, gave me instructions on what to do if I have too many Braxton Hicks, gave me pamphlets on blood cord storage and postpartum depression, and asked me if I had selected a pediatrician. We've just never talked about the "after" like that so, it's official - just 12 more weeks...time to start looking towards the end...
Today is my husband's 28th birthday (also the first day of summer and the longest day of the year - in terms of hours of sunlight). He took the day off of work, which is good because he's been working so late and so hard lately. Anyway, he still got up with me this morning and started working on the baby's room before I'd even gotten to eat breakfast. He finished the painting last night. This morning he was preparing for our baby furniture delivery which is schedule for 10am-12pm. He said he was excited about the room which, of course makes me very excited too!
We've got a few plans for his birthday which I'll elaborate on after they occur...just in case he reads this today!!! :)
