Baby Update

I went to my doctor's appt today- I'm 36 1/2 weeks along. The nurse weighed me twice to make sure she got it right- that's never a good sign! Apparently I've gained some weight due to swelling in the last 2 weeks. My blood pressure was slightly more elevated than my normal numbers as well. The doctor didn't seem too worried about it, though. He just said to avoid salt as much as possible, and don't drink more than usual- I had read that if you drink a lot of water it will somehow make the swelling better but he said that's a normal misconception & infact it does the opposite & makes you swell more! Who knew?! I never had swelling with Macie so I had no idea what to do!

Anyway, he checked me and I'm not dilated at all. He thinks I'll probably go right around my due date. As uncomfortable as I am, I'm okay with that since I could still use a few more weeks to get things more ready! The baby is in the head-down position and everything is looking good & healthy. I have another appointment at 38 weeks so I'll update if anything has changed. I can't believe we're down to the final weeks!
