Jay is napping and Annelise is watching her Your Baby Can Read DVD, singing along with Row Row Row Your Boat... so I've got some spare time to lj.
The Bean is exactly 36 weeks today. It's insane I've only got 2 weeks more of this wild ride left. This pregnancy has gone by so fast... it seems like only a few weeks ago I was staring down at that life changing little blue word... "Pregnant".
On the agenda for this week? Wednesday is my 36 week appointment and after that my NST. Let's hope for a better blood pressure reading this week. The last thing I want to do is be sent for another round of PIH bloodwork at the hospital.
I hopped on the scale this morning and discovered I've dropped two more pounds, bringing me down to 143. Considering at my 30 week appointment, I was 154 it has me a little concerned. I haven't had much swelling, if any, in weeks. I'm not sure where this weight is coming from. I'm going to ask my doctor about it Wednesday I suppose.
Since all the swelling went down, my bump looks so small. I hadn't really noticed until today when I took my 36 week photos. This baby is going to be a shrimp... just please be a healthy shrimp.
I've gained 24lbs total.
Jay wants to take Annelise to the pool when he wakes up, so I need to go and get our pool bag together. I took Leesie swimming Sunday evening and put her new floaties on her... she did so good! Mommy's little mermaid <3
On a completely random note, Jay told me he had a dream about the baby last night. He dreamed it was a girl with long dark hair and she came out talking. Ahhh... it's refreshing that I'm not the only one having odd dreams. So... Bean-baby? Are you a girl perhaps?
