This week we had a check-up on Thursday, as usual. My blood pressure is actually even better than last time, and I’ve lost two pounds. (I haven’t posted details in awhile… that puts me at 153 pounds and 42 inches around the middle!) My midwife said things are going really well. The few sets of contractions I’ve had are normal and show that my body is getting ready.
On top of cooking, cleaning, laundry, and general household chores, I’ve had some great relaxation time in the sun. I’m reading The Time Traveler’s Wife (enough baby books for now) and have sprouted lots of freckles. Nice! I also finished all the prenancy entries in JT’s baby book. Now it’s packed in the hospital bag awaiting his little footprints.
Meanwhile, Slider and I continue to enjoy daily walks. This week we had an extra long walk with my friend Emrie, which was wonderful. Today’s walk ended with chatting with a woman who has a six-week old boy. She’s been walking since he was three weeks old, and she looks fabulous. How inspiring! Here we are today… I’ve been trying to take a picture every few days because you never know when it will be the last one!
7/23/08 – Adding this little piece of info – here is my last pregnant picture. I’m at a debutant party for one of my Young Life girls. It was taken Sunday, around 6 PM… when my contractions were about half an hour apart. I didn’t say anything to anyone at the party, and it was a great distraction!
