38 Weeks and Counting...

How far along? 38 weeks

Total weight gain: I gained four pounds in the last week because my blood pressure is high and I'm retaining water

Blood pressure: My blood pressure was high yesterday and my doc told me to stay off my feet and not do anything strenuous. It it gets too high, I will have to be induced and that is not what I really want to happen.

Baby's heartrate: 130 bpm

Symptoms: the same as last week with the addition of major swelling from the high blood pressure.  My hands are swollen, my face is swollen and "cankles" is an understatement.

Progress: 3 cm

Sleep: I've actually been really tired lately and have been able to sleep better

Best moment this week: knowing that I'm getting closer to meeting baby boy

Movement: he moves in crazy directions and makes my belly look lopsided

Food cravings: nothing particular

What I am looking forward to: having this baby!!!!

Weekly Wisdom: It is a lot easier said than done to "stay off your feet" with an almost two year old running around wreaking havoc.

Milestones: 38 weeks and counting.
