Hmmm... update!!
Fetal heart rate: 145-155, depending on how much I tickle my belly
Fundal height: 33.5cm
Blood pressure/pulse (with baby on my back, as usual): 102/61 / 80
Weight: Haven't bothered, not too crucial. update: gained 2lbs, for 24lbs total gain
Baby's position: Breech, vertex, breech, vertex... bipolar baby, ya know? Currently vertex, at this moment.
Urine: All the pretty colors were right on!
The watermelon as grown, and movement has slowed down a little bit since there's a lot less room. It's getting close... in 2.5 weeks I'll be clear to birth at home... in 3 weeks I'll be 37 weeks... in 4 weeks I'll be 38 weeks. Jake came at 38 and some change. I'd love to have the baby AT 38 weeks exactly, you know, if I could pick the date. I have my reasons (namely, everyone will be out of town, and no one will try to bust in on me in the first 24 hours after the birth, where I'll likely be lying mostly naked in bed with a naked baby, trying to get a hang of nursing 2 at the same time. Not going to be my most beautiful moment). My rings are still on my middle finger... no swelling at all (by this point with Jake I was like a balloon... it's all about the diet). I'm actually kind of disappointed because I wanted the rings to fit on the right finger for once, and I figured they SHOULD by 20 weeks, and here I am almost done and they aren't even off my middle finger yet! Argh! I'm sleeping well, other than getting up every 2 hours to pee, and then nursing early in the morning (usually with a full bladder, unless I manage to pee right before he wakes up... which happens, like, never).
I found out today that the base of my infant car seat is broken. So, we either need to replace it, or just use the seat itself for a few months before switching 2e to another Britax Boulevard (since they aren't ideal for newnewnewborns). Not to mention that the Snugride doesn't install well in the Buick... it does the slip & slide no matter how tight I pull. And you can't tether the top of the seat down like you can with Britax seats (baby, those suckers DO NOT MOVE when you install them!). This is frustrating because now, on top of spending $300 on one car seat, I'm going to have to put another $30 into one we're only going to use for a couple of months. And it'll be expired by the time we have number 3.
Anyway, it's 11:58pm... in two minutes I'll be 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Jake's awake (he woke up when the pizza arrived... Bug and Pooh were over tonight to watch August Rush)... and I need to get him back to sleep, so we can go to bed, since it's waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy past my bedtime! And yeah, I bet he still gets up at 6.
Tomorrow, if I get around to it, I'm going to write out my "perfect birth story". With every detail, down to dates and times and amount of pain and everything. Just for fun. But right now, I'm going to try and convince Jake that Sleep is Good. Sleep is Good. Wish me luck...
Oops, it's 12:02 now...
