rkoldSo as of yesterday, I've officially passed the 37 week mark, making Ryuchan term. Yesterday's appointment I had a tiny bit more protein in my urine than there should have been the first time I tested but it had vanished to nothing with the second test and my blood pressure was slightly elevated 120/82 (probably from my protein scare) at the start of the appointment but had dropped to 110/78 by the end. So as of now all looks right, she's still head down and they found her heartbeat. Next appointment is week 38. I also am Strep B-!!!!!!! This is very happy as it means no IV and IVs scare me a whole heck of a lot more than labor. For those curious, Strep B just lives in people's bodies and only really causes a problem possibly during labor. Of all the things I was tested for, Strep B is the most common, with 20-30% of the population being positive.
They think she is around 5 1/2 pounds right now, which makes her a little small, but of course 5 1/2 pounds is a lot easier to get out than say 10 pounds lol It will be interesting to see how big she actually is. I am currently watching my belly move of its own volition.
This week end I had my shower! It didn't quite go as I had expected but it was still lots of fun. So many thanks to all my friends and relatives who took the time to come and all the energy and effort they put into it. I feel so blessed by all the funky and amusing gifts and the fact you all took time to come and see me!
Now to work more on the baby naming....
Our townhome, you can see the sukkah on our deck if you look carefully
The sukkah from behind, the entrance is right through our sliding glass doors.
At the start of 36 weeks pregnant, I so love those jeans
Ryuchan's Daddy is a huge dork :D

Future Aunt
Future Grandmas (I bet you can tell which is my Mom lol
Daddy showing off one of his tricycles. (That is the one I like to use!)

Date: 2010-09-30 02:55 am (UTC)I bought the dress for my brother's more formal wedding, but as it is the 3rd most expensive dress I've ever owned (The only more expensive ones being my first wedding dress and the bridesmaid dress I wore to my cousins' wedding, neither of which I actually paid for) I am determined to get my money's worth. I'll probably be wearing it for the naming too, even though I will no longer need maternity.
