Today was the day of my 37 week check-up. I was ready for everything to be the same boring thing.....until I got on the scale and my eyes bulged out! I gained almost 7 more pounds this week!!!
Into the room I go, waiting for Stephanie, a mid-wife at the office. She greeted me with a smile and an "Oh my," as she noticed my swollen ankles and feet right away. Kinda hard to miss since I can't wear socks or shoes anymore. I wear my crocs. And those are tight. But as long as I'm not having headaches or blurred vision, I don't have to worry about preclampsia (which my mom had when she was pregnant with me). Then she measured my stomach and said, "I think we're gonna schedule a sonogram for next weeks appointment." Apparently, she thinks he might end up being over 9 pounds, and then they would like to schedule a C-section. Or it may be weight in fluid (which I am leaning more towards since I don't have enough room in my belly to eat much food anymore).
So maybe I'll have a Friday the 13th baby....or a Valentine's day baby....or maybe I'll be induced next weekend.... I hope my little guy knows that Mommy loves him, but it's time to come out!!!

Dear Grandson,
Mommy showed me your new room today, and it looks awesome! Your crib is ready, your clothes are all neat and clean, and daddy just built you a new shelf so you can put all your toys on it. You are one blessed little guy! So come on out and play!
Love,
Gramma
Feb 15th was Uncle Jack's birthday... if he's born on the 15th, you know it's a sign! Sorry to hear your uncomfortable, but at least it will be over soon. xoxo
