No changes

Doc appt today.

Nothing going on downstairs. Too bad. Everything is closed up.

Ryan is head down right now, so that's probably a good thing. And it's in the correct place, although I think that it tends to gravitate toward my left hip, causing me pain.

BP is good, but I have some swelling today, the first that I have had. But, I can see it in my legs and face a bit.

So, I'm under orders to take it easy and keep my legs elevated. Which I have been trying to do tonight. Hopefully, it's better overnight.

I knew something was amiss when I gained a pound and a half from one day to the next. I'm up 30 pounds now, but I'm guessing that 3-4 pounds right now is fluid retention. I'm really hoping I can leave the hospital at 215. That would be sweet.

I'm not sure how much swelling is because I am moving around during the day and how much is because I sit on my butt all day too. I would think that both would contribute. But, I'll have to watch it and see.

I still have a few more things to purchase for Ryan, but for the most part, I think that we're done. What I REALLY need to do is finish my thank you notes! Saturday, I think, while Jake is at his gig. Mail them Monday and I'll be good. I need to email everyone at work tomorrow to thank them for the shower I had last Thursday. I was going to bring a card, but I'm worried that I'll never finish them!

So, I go back to the doc next week -- hopefully, something will happen and I'll progress a bit more. I just want to make it past Wednesday, to meet the pedi first. I wouldn't want the first time we meet to be at the hospital when he's born, you know?
