The 37 1/2 almost 38 week Report!

My appointment for the midwife was yesterday--so that meant that it hasn't been exactly a week since my last appointment.  But whatever....The fun news about this visit was that I lost 1 lb.  I can't even tell you the last time that I actually did not gain 2-5 lbs from visit to visit.  Honestly, since last August!  Lordy!  Not that I'm freaking out about weight, but it just made me laugh:)  (Also, this is very normal at the end to plateau on weight or even lose a little bit).  I'm measuring even smaller this week--which verifies that the baby is definitely continuing to drop.  Honestly, I don't know how much more it can drop before we have a baby on the floor:)........

The baby's heartrate was in the upper 130's and after getting pushed around a bit by the midwife jumped to the 150's.  I let my midwife know about all the fun things going on including 45 minutes of 4 minute contractions this past weekend.  She stated, "Oh it's getting close:)"  She stated--I bet one more week.  That is what I'm thinking too....I will get through this weekend--and then sometime next week!  We'll see--my Pa comes in on the 12th.  

In other news, I have officially been blessed with a cold:(  My throat has been a bit scratchy--and I think today I can say that it is in fact a cold.  So if anyone has good tips let me know....I have 2 things of OJ that I am happily consuming, I will drink at least 2 liters of water by the time I leave work, and I'm going nap when I can.  Because I have the feeling I'm going to have the workout of my life coming up here.....

Love to all,
Megan
