I went to the first of my weekly doctor appointments yesterday afternoon. Everything is going very well. Except for the fact that I gained 6 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I didn't even know that was possible. Geez. No wonder so many people told me that I looked like I got bigger last weekend. I DID!!! My blood pressure did go up a little bit this time, so the Dr. said that they will have to keep an eye on that. He said that he estimates the baby to be somewhere between 5 and 6 lbs right now. So, he thinks he might be around 7 lbs when he is born, if he waits 4 more weeks. I must have looked disappointed when he said that, because he looked at me funny and asked if I was hoping for bigger. Well, shoot.....I gained 6 lbs in 2 weeks!!!! I guess I was just looking for a better reason for that crap!!! But no, I am not disappointed. I will be disappointed in nothing as long as he is healthy and safe. (or the epidural doesn't work out for some reason) He said that I am dialated to 1. So, things are happening. That was easy enough. I haven't had any contractions or anything. At least, I don't think I have. Maybe that is a sign of how easy my labor will be!! :O) Yes, absolute denial, I know. I like it here in my little make believe world, OK!!!!! :O)
So, we will just have to wait and see what the next couple of weeks have in store. Here we go!
