35 weeks

Bump Watch:
35 weeks! We are really getting close now. We had a doctor's appointment today. Babies heart beat was 140-150. As you can see we had an ultrasound. Our doctor wanted to check on baby because I've had a few high blood pressures (just like at the end of pregnancy with my other two). My blood pressure has been high but not to high if that makes since. I have been sitting around 130-150/70-80's. Normally the top number- systolic pressure- should be under 120. I have gone down to work 8 hour shifts instead of 12's and it seems to be helping. Today at my appointment my blood pressure was perfect. I can feel at the end of my days that my body is starting to have enough- I get headaches and just normal aches and pains. But so far all has been good. We don't have another appointment for two weeks. With my last two pregnancies I was put on house rest at 36 weeks- so looks like I will make it past that! I hope to keep working so the next few weeks go fast!
The Ultrasound:
So much fun to peek in on my little boy! Makes me so excited to see him and hold him!! He was wiggling around. He is facing down- which he should be at this point. Per his measurements he is sitting at 37 weeks in size. The tech said it looks like he is about 6 pounds already! No wonder I hurt every where. He should gain about a 1/2 a pound a week until he is born. (4 more weeks because since I am a planned C-section we have our date penciled in at 39 weeks) He was opening his mouth, stuck his tongue out and sucked on his hand. So cute!! We also got to see him take a couple of breaths. Makes me happy that every thing is good and baby is healthy. I'm getting anxious to be done but I know this last month will go fast. For now Baby just keep growing and we will see you soon!!!
