Baby J

38.5 week update

Description

wow! i think somehow in my own head, id managed to convince myself that J would here by now! But, J isnt and we’re carrying on as normal!

I can’t complain! Im not sick of being pregnant, nor am i feeling ridiculously heavy. So why on earth am i even contemplating moaning? Its not that I even want to moan! Im just very excited and anxious to meet J and to see who J is!

At my check-up today, J was doing great! J is now weighing in at 3.5/3.6 kgs, and the doc reckons that J wont pick up more than about another 300g… that gives us a very healthy sized baby!! woohoo! J’s head hasnt fully engaged, but that can change within the space of an hour, so its not a concern at all! also considering that im still 11 days off my due date, we have some time!

Im doing well! My blood pressure was a tad higher than it shouldve been at my last check-up and was still high today. Its not high enough to have me hospitalised, but its high enough to have on me on BP pills for the remainder of my pregnancy. We dont want any funny complications now…we’ve come so far and have been so healthy. if it means taking a few pills to keep it that way, im all for it! Pills beat sitting around in hospital anyday!!!

I was secretly/not-so-secretly hoping that J would arrive this weekend, but at the end of the day…J must come when J is good and ready! (i also wouldnt want to leave my warm, snug environment for the cold that we’re having at the moment!)

So the wait continues….
