Post-Checkup
All news is good news…
- I haven’t gained any weight in the past two weeks (there’s plenty of time, yet, for baby to gain 2-5lbs. and send me into the “WTF?” weight category);
- My blood pressure’s good;
- Sprout’s heartrate is great (151 bpm);
- Sprout’s still in a head-down position, although I admit it’s a little eerie that she’s now large enough for my OB to tell that that just by poking around my abdomen a bit!
- I have a prescription for Ambien, which means I might actually get some real, uninterrupted sleep soon!
- My laid back, “Baby’s going to come when she’s ready and I’m not going to stress about all the details of labor and delivery,” plan is cool with my OB, and I have full trust in her, her staff, and the practice she belongs to.
Now if the weather would just clear up long enough for me to pull the horrific assortment of weeds that have sprouted in our backyard, and get Justin to mow* our front yard, I’d be a happy camper. I really don’t want to be pulling weeds when I’m 38-41 weeks pregnant! 
* Those who know me know it actually makes me sad to not be able to mow my own lawn; not that I couldn’t, still, mind you… but Justin put me on orders not to because he thinks the neighborhood might tar and feather him if they saw me with my gargantuan tummy out there mowing the lawn. {hehe!} And truth be told, I was seriously winded the last time I mowed the lawn, and I was only about 5 months’ pregnant, at the time!
