Another week, another doctor's appointment. Friday morning we again visited the doctor to find out that basically nothing is happening. This baby is not ready to make an appearance into the world yet. It was a little scary right away though, as my blood pressure was sky high - 150/100. After laying on my left side, it came back down to normal 132/78 and they were again happy. He said I could expect some high numbers right away from now on out though, as the baby is pretty big and pushing on those major blood vessels. As long as the numbers come down after laying on my left side, we are fine. The baby was again really healthy with a heart beat of 148 bpm and moving all around - although I don't think it appreciated having the doctor check where it was sitting when he squeezed my stomach and subsequently the baby's little head :-) It started really kicking around then.
We also went shopping this week and got our stroller/car seat, baby monitor, and the baby swing. John set up the crib, with mattress delivered and in the crib, and everything seems to be pretty much ready to go. My parents were here this weekend as well. My dad and John replaced our bathroom floor and Mom cleaned - with me pointing her in the right directions :-) Everything seems to be in place...everything except the baby
So, again, we patiently wait for SOMETHING to happen.....although the doc seems to think it will be closer to the due date....unfortunately :-(
