37 weeks

37 weeks

3 more weeks to go. yikes.
i cheated and took this picture monday after i got my hair done. who knows when you might see it cute again.

some days she looks like she is sticking out so far and some days i hardly notice she's there. i had an ultrasound last tuesday and she decided to turn, yay! she's head down now.

my blood pressure has been a little high when i go to my appointments, but is totally normal at home. i decided it must be the stress of work. and leaving work. and since i work in the same place as my doctor's office...no wonder it's high. i have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get too high.

i'm measuring a little bit small for how far along i am so i'm having a growth ultrasound on monday to check her out. if she's slowed down, then it's baby time! my doctor said there's more benefits to having her out than in at this point, if she's small. and, after 37 weeks she tolerates less of this too small, high blood pressure business. so, she may be here a little earlier than we thought. i only ask that she waits until friday when it's january 1st and my flex spending is available. too much to ask?

we also had a non-stress test today. baby k did great and passed! her heart rate was perfect and she has plenty of fluid. i loved laying there listening to her heartbeat for 20 minutes.

i just realized i didn't take 1 picture over christmas. lame. next year i guess.
next up...before and after pictures of the house. finally!

Alicia!!! You're getting so close. I can't believe it. I'm so excited to see this baby, and hear what her name is. I love referring to her as Baby K though. I think maybe I'll still think of her as that once she's here :) I hope everything goes good for you. You look so good. Best of luck!!!
