It's been a busy week since my last appointment. The best part has been the shower that my co-workers gave me! My mom even went with me and we had so much fun...and now she knows why I love my job. Everyone has been so sweet in getting gifts for Kirkland and we're so thankful for each and everything! I don't want to hear that we're spoiling her because it sure seems like everyone else is doing a good job of doing it too! (Haha)
I had another doctor's appointment this morning after work. Unfortunately, my blood pressure was unusually high for me and I had gained 7 lbs since last week! I know there's no way I've gained that much weight and I had the same problem the last time I went to an appointment after working and was all swollen. We'll just see how that ends up next week.
Otherwise, I'm measuring a tad bit small (still 36), but she said that baby's head is very, very low with no dilation but almost completely effaced. I've been having some pretty hard Braxton Hicks contractions so hopefully the no dilation part will have changed by next week.
Sorry to my the Davis side of my family, but unless she has a major attitude change it doesn't look like she'll be coming on the 21st! My hopes are still that she'll be a Halloween baby, but we'll see. Sounds like she's just going to do her own thing anyways (doesn't this sound familiar).
And.....tonight is my LAST night of working on the floor, then I have 2 days of class this week and I'm on maternity leave!! Of course the doctor reminded me today that she agrees it's good for me to have some time to prepare for her but that being on maternity leave doesn't mean I can be running up and down the road but that it'd be fine to be doing work/organizing around the house. We'll see how this goes!
