I am now in the home stretch with weekly appointments starting this coming week. As you can see from the stats, everything is looking really good.

I could use some sleep though. I'm getting tired of waking up and feeling too much nausea to get back to sleep for at least a couple of hours.

Weight: 152lbs

Another OB appointment, another 2 weeks closer to my due date. Very routine appointment with the OB checking LO's position after checking both of our vitals. She's head down and turned the way she's supposed to be. Still very active, although not rolling around as much. As soon as the OB put the doppler on my belly, LO decided to move to the other side and kick. I told her to behave. She didn't listen. I guess this is the warm up for the teen years!

BP: 108/60

Weight: 150lbs

LO's HB: 150-160

Had another OB appointment today to make sure that everything is well with both baby and me before I fly with my family and spend some time away before our LO arrives.

OB gave me my note so that if there is a question, I've been cleared for flying.

I've been released!

No more thyroid specialists appointments until after LO gets here! Doctor said that my levels are stable and he'll only call me for an appointment if my monthly blood work shows I need to. Other than that, I don't go back until December.

BP: 112/52

HB: 93

I had my regular OB appointment today. LO is extremely active and having a great time doing her tumbling routine. I can't wait to meet her!

After, I went to get my thyroid tests again, but was told I had to fast this time. So, off to the vampires again tomorrow.

Weight: 145.5 lbs

BP: 112/66

LO HB: 150-154

Today it was back to the thyroid specialist. My blood tests are even better again. Dr. is very happy and will continue to do follow ups until after LO is here.

Next appointment is the last week of July with a full range of tests again. Dr. wants to make sure that he gets the GD test results as well since I've commented on gaining a lot more weight with this pregnancy.

Weight: 145 lbs

BP: 102/60

Today was another uneventful OB appointment. I've now reached 143.5 lbs on the scales for a weight gain of a whopping 25.5 lbs to date. One more pound and I've beat my record for DS. Dr. is not worried in the slightest.

My blood pressure is 112/60 which elicited a perfect from the OB's assistant. LO's heart rate is 153. As per usual, the little scamp kicked the doppler as soon as the OB found the heart rate which made me wince. The OB apologized immediately, although I had to reassure her it was little miss being sensitive and nothing to do with her since I could barely feel the doppler.

I go back in 3 weeks since the office is under renovation, and then another 3 weeks after that.

Next week I have to schedule in the nasty glucose test. I'm not looking forward to that!

OB asked if I was still being followed for my thyroid, and I reassured her that I was and that I would see the specialist next week.

Hospital registration is tomorrow! I get to get re-acquainted with the hospital and see if anything has changed since DS was born!
