37 week appointment!

So I went back to the doctor yesterday and all they did was listen to his heartbeat and measure my belly. Everything is going smoothely. My belly measured 37 cm which is exactly what it should be and his heartbeat was at 156. That is a little higher than what it has been, but I drank some juice right before I left so that was probably why. He kept moving so it was hard for the doctor to find it and he kept kicking his hand. Bryan told me after we left that when he was doing that, Bryan was thinking "That's my boy!" Like father like son..lol! That's all for now!

Blah

Still no Garret! I am getting pretty impatient to say the least but I know he will be coming soon. I had my first weekly doctors appointment on Monday with yet again a new doctor. This one seems to know what he is doing unlike the last one. I was measuring at exactly what I should have been, which was 36 cm. When I went the time before, the other doctor said I was 32 cm. There was only a two week gap in between the two so my belly couldn't have grown that much.

Anyway, the doctor said that everything was looking great. My blood pressure was looking good along with my weight. I have gained almost 30lbs since I got pregnant, which isn't bad. He also did the Group B strep test. It was really weird because Bryan was in the room with me. To say the least, he was a little uncomfortable. He is going to have to get over that seeing as how is going to be in the delivery room...lol!

I can't wait for Garret to come out. I am getting so uncomfortable! I have been having Braxton Hicks like crazy and I am not sleeping well at all. I am guessing that the doctor will start checking for dialation at my next appointment on Monday. I am kind of eager to see if anything is happening yet.

That's all for now, but I will update on Monday after my appointment!

Random

So I really don't have very much to blog about.

I think that I am getting into the nesting stage. I want to get everything done that needs to get done before little Garrett arrives. I have made a list of everything that needs to get accomplished such as writing our birth plan, putting the car seat in the Rendezvous, finish washing all his clothes, clean house from top to bottom, pack my bags, etc. I am really hoping he comes soon! I am getting so uncomfortable! My doctor said that I will be full term this Saturday, but I will only be 35 weeks. I thought full term was 37 weeks.

This weekend, Bryan's sister Kim and her family and Karyn, are coming to visit for a few days. Kim is going to put together some meals that we can put in the freezer and heat up when Garrett comes (I greatly appreciate this). Saturday, Bryan and I are going to clean up the house and then go to Golden Corral. I have been craving Golden Corral for the past two weeks now. While we are out, we are going to go to the hospital to pre-register.

That's all I have for now. Blog again later!
