30 days to go

It's hard to believe that I'm now 1 month from my due date. Jeez! It's flown by so fast. I will have to admit regardless of if this baby is a girl or a boy, it was by far the best pregnancy I've had - as far as a smooth sailing, stereotypical pregnancy. We had the one hiccup, but that was nothing compared to the others. I feel great and have for the most part keep the weight gain under control, I think mainly due to my gluten allergy. (Should I thank that too? lol.)

I am 35wks, 5 days, and had a doctor's appointment today. I had to have the strep B test done, but I'm sure that will be fine. I'm happy to report no "exams" till 37 weeks. I HATE those, then again I don't know any WOMAN who does. Considering the scare and stress I got yesterday(after I've talked to my attorney about some things I will post the WHOLE story.), my blood pressure was relatively normal: 116/68. Cyril loved listening to his "baby's" heartbeat. This time he told Dr. B and I that it sounded like rain. Spencer said one time that it sounds like someone is running. lol. Heartbeat was in the 150's and Peanut was moving, just wish it would stop doing that at the same time as a Braxton Hick contraction. Ouch!

I think the best part of the entire appointment was that I have lost 9lbs since last week. One can hope that the water weight has settled down and will stay that way till the end. I've been so annoyed this last month and a half because I gained 12lbs, no real reason behind it expect water weight. I was hoping that it was all baby, but then again I don't WANT to give birth to a baby that large. 9lb babies are big enough, thank you very much. lol.

I'm getting excited now, and can't wait to meet Peanut. Hope I didn't jinx anything by picking up a couple of girl clothes at some garage sales today. Fingers are crossed. ;)

God Bless
