Yesterday, I was so excited to see Dr. Beckman and to check on Miss Lillian. Everything seems to be progressing. I have gained another 2 lbs (which was really good b/c I feel like I have gained 10lbs). My blood pressure was 116/60. No protein in my urine and my strept test came back negative....yea!!! Lillian's heart rate was fast and strong (I don't know why I always forget to ask him what it is). This week my fundus measured 39cm. That is 1cm less than last week. Dr. Beckman joked around saying that my baby is shrinking....hahaha. He said that Lillian has probably dropped a little. He went ahead and checked me. I'm still 1 cm dilated, but now I'm 50% effaced and Lillian has dropped into my pelvis. Lillian's growth is at a standstill right now, which is good b/c she is already ahead. Dr. Beckman said that if I make it to 39 wks, he will probably do another ultrasound. However, I just have to take it day by day.
Monday, starts my maternity leave. I was supposed to start it on May 4th, but everyone thinks I'm going to deliver early. However, my boss told me to call into work and they will put me on the schedule for a couple of days next week if I want to work. That way I can push off my maternity leave for another week. I really don't know what to do. My fingers and toes are so swollen, they are painful. So, sitting in front of a computer all day long typing orders in does not sound like fun. However, a paycheck sounds good!!! I guess I'll have to talk to John about it.
Anyway, Here is a picture of me at 37 wks and 3 days of my belly. As one person told me, yes, I really do look like I'm going to pop!! People just have the nicest things to say to you when you are pregnant.....if you can't tell.....that is sarcasm
