36 Week Appointment

Monday, March 8th was our 36 week baby check up and there is really not much to report; so far this has been an uneventful pregnancy and that is just the way we like it! The nurse and doctor checked all of the standard things: weight and blood pressure were both good, they measured my belly which was right on track measuring at 36 cm, and Baby Pulse has a nice strong heart beat. My appointments will be weekly now that we are in the final stretch; the doctors will be keeping a close eye on everything that is going on. The doctor also reminded us of some of the things that can/will happen when labor is starting and when to call them. We also discussed pain management options for the big day. That conversation made it all seem very close; Baby Pulse will be here in no time! I think the baby is really ready to come out because he/she has been moving and kicking so much it feels like they are trying to escape. My coworkers have started a baby pool, I am guessing a March baby….or maybe that is just what I am hoping for? Anyway, that is it for now, the picture below is me and my huge belly at 36 weeks…..
