I am 34 weeks and 3 days today. I had my Dr’s Appointment this morning and it was pretty routine which we like. :) I got the new nurse again but at least my blood pressure wasn’t as high as last time. It was still a little higher than the readings I get at home. I just get nervous at the Dr’s office. :( However, I am measuring on target still and Dr. H was happy to see my Kick Count Sheet. In general, Jack doesn’t go above 15 mins. I even had some hiccups recorded which usually put him in the 1 min range. Dr. H was appreciative of the record since this way we’ll have something to go by in case the frequency in movement ever slows down. Hopefully, it won’t but it’s nice to have some kind of record to fall back on.

While we were there, Dr. H asked asked if we had a date in mind for when we wanted him to be delivered. I guess some of his patients like to schedule inductions. We opted to let it happen naturally and only schedule an induction if we go 1 week past our due date. So, as of right now, at the latest he will make his appearance is either February 4th or 5th of 2007. A week past his original due date. He may come before but if he hasn’t appeared by then we’ll induce. As LOML puts it, we may have a Super Bowl Baby. :)

We go back in another 2 weeks. I have gained 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks which I guess isn’t too bad. After the next appointment, I’ll be going every week. At the next appointment, I’ll have my Group B Step Tests done and also Dr. H will check and see if Jack is head down. He isn’t yet since I still have a harder time breathing and heartburn is at an all time high! :)

Overall, things are ok. Work has been really busy as have the past few days with Holiday stuff filling up the weeks. My SIL is hosting a Cookie Tasting Party tomorrow night so I have to actually bake some to share with the group! One more thing to do. It should be fun, but as I get so tired easily these days it all gets a little tough. :)

Tonight LOML & I are off to a dinner sponsored by one of our clients which should be nice and then of course there is X-mas this coming weekend. :) The days are just whizzing by and it’s weird to think the year is nearly over. Where has the time gone?

I still get worried, but trying to keep my fretting to a minimum. Jack is still thumping around in my belly which helps assure me and I sure hope he keeps it up. :) I am grateful to have gotten this far and pray that it keeps going this way. I hope Jack is healthy in there and remains that way.

Sorry my posts have been so sporadic and rather boring. I keep thinking of witty topics to write about but unfortunately haven’t really provided you guys with any of those. Life has been quite busy with wrapping up work stuff, preparing for Jack’s arrival, and all the holiday prep. Oh and of course trying to get some shut eye here and there which everyone keeps telling me to get plenty of before baby arrives.

All righty – back to work!
