35 Weeks

I bought a new (used) dress that actually fits me! It may be maternity size XXL, but hey, it works. Doc measured me at 47 weeks, so my belly hasn't grown much. That's not to say I haven't gained weight through ridiculous water retention. Preeettty excited to sweat/etc. it all off.

At my appointment on Wed my blood pressure was a bit elevated, which is a possible indication of preeclampsia. Got it checked again today, and it's normal again. Yay!

Indications are definitely looking like labor is not far away. The babies have dropped lower. My SPD has seemed to actually get a bit better, which seems funny for all that weight going further into my hips. But also I stopped driving because my tummy was rubbing against the steering wheel - uncomfortable and nerve-wracking. Since I can't walk much and can't drive anywhere on my own, I think I'm not exacerbating it as much. I don't have to use crutches anymore which is awesome. The looks I got in public, oh my.

Cathy and Mike Perry again made our weekend by making/bringing over a whole heap of food. Wow I'm so thankful.

And yesterday was my 28th birthday! It was rocking, let me tell you. But in truth it was really really nice. Kurt went to Greenbush Donuts at 5:45am and got me an apple fritter. THAT'S love. And made me fruit parfait, one of my favorites, and got me lovely flowers. Love my sweetie! His work also had a little baby shower/potluck for us. It just happened to be on my birthday. His co-worker Emily, the sweetest person ever, came over to drive me there and gave me a mani-pedi so I could feel a little pretty on my bday! So nice!

After going to that and eating lots of delicious food, meeting people, and catching up with people I knew already, I came home and slept for 3 hours. Yeah it doesn't take much to tire me out.

And then we were going to go out to eat, a nice last hurrah before taking a lengthy break from restaurants...but I was too pooped. So we ordered Indian. Yummm. No, I didn't get it super spicy, the doc wants me to go another week at least :-)
