Pregnancy Update

Here we are in week 35! Can you believe that it's September already...time is passing right on by! It is still hot as I don't know what and now there's a hurricane coming! Well...not coming to Durham but you know what I mean! Many prayers going out to our Wilmington family and my brother who is doing his Coast Guard duty!


So...went to the doctor this morning and all seems to be going well! My blood pressure was up some and I gained 2 lbs! Of course, I have explanations for this...lol! I'm thinking my pressure was up because my little escape artist managed to get out of her room this morning and was waiting outside my bathroom door when I got out of the shower! It scared me to death...I said to her...how did you get in here and she said, "Door..." Give me strength, Jesus! Oh and the weight thing...maybe it was the piece of Red Velvet cheescake (gift from Tisha's little sis) that I ate last night or the other little treats that I have had over the last 2 weeks. But still only up 13 total pounds so I'm on track.

Kennedi has dropped a bit ( I had guessed this since my lap is disappearing!) and has a great heartbeat. She is measuring 34 weeks and is head down. That's good to know because I was always wondering what these random body parts sticking out my stomach were...LOL...anywho! I had to get my Group B strep test today so the doctor asked if I wanted her to check my cervix. I told her that she might as well since she was down there already...LOL! My cervix is soft but still closed so no dilation. Then they told me to go get my finger pricked! WHAT?! Wait a minute...no one told me about this! I am not mentally prepared for any needles today...They didn't care and I was off to the lab to check for iron. Shouldn't it be a law that they have to warn you about these things in advance? **sigh** Oh well...I survived and my iron level was good...

I am wondering how a baby can move so much while upside down...sounds uncomfortable! Hmmm...oh well! Look out for Breakin' 2010 coming your way! She clearly has her head spin down pat!

If you haven't made your baby pool guess, you might want to get on that! http://www.expectnet.com/games/KennediB Some interesting guesses have gone up so we will see who wins the prize!


So I hope that everyone has a great Labor Day weekend! I am excited for a day off...especially since I need Kennedi to stay put until October 1st so that my maternity leave will be in tact! I am now on weekly appointments so I'll be back next Wednesday!
