Stable and Grateful

35 week appointment today. My BP is still somewhat elevated though not too high, but it is stable. No protein in my urine and no signs of Pre-E. All very good news. I brought in my daily bp readings from home and I think I finally proved to them that my BP is much, much worse at the office because of my stupid White Coats Syndrome. Belly is measuring right on to the day. Baby Girl's heartbeat is perfect. Weight down 1lb from last appointment (probably due to being on bed rest and loosing the excess swelling fluid). I was declared "doing a great job and to keep it up!".

Yay! I don't have to go back for another 2 weeks and at that point I will be officially full term! I just have to keep up the rest and continue recording my blood pressure at home to take in to my appointments. YIPPIE! At that point I will be on weekly appointments until the end. They will also do my Group B Strep test and my first internal to check for progress.

My family and friends have been fabulous. I can't even tell you how many breakfasts and lunches they have brought to me. My mom, grandma and bff came last week and organized all of my baby shower gifts, did the last of my baby laundry and finished off my nursery. I was bummed to not be able to do it myself, but so grateful that I had the help since I can't. My mom has ran errands for me to get the last of the stuff I still needed and she is taking my car to the fire department this week to have my car seat installed. My hubby has been waiting on me hand and foot. I'm really blessed.

I'm getting excited and just a wee bit nervous! I can't believe this is all happening so soon! How is this happening? I'm just in such disbelief! Has there really been a baby inside of me all of these months? Wow! My mind is totally blown.

Thanks for all of your well wishes and prayers. I'll keep you updated. :)
