The Countdown is on! 38 weeks & 4 days appointment

Baby has engaged!!!  Well, just barely, at -3 station, and I am still 50% effaced, but now at 2 centimeters- hooray!

I had only gained 1.5 more pounds since last week and my blood pressure was a little lower than last week's- 130/80 today, but my doctor noted that is still higher than normal for me and I had protein in my urine today. So he ordered some blood work to check for preeclampsia markers.  Other than being tired, short of breath and having some mild swelling, I feel fine for this stage of pregnancy...so I guess I just wait to hear what the results are and where we go from there.  He estimates baby to be about 8lbs at birth and he was only a few ounces off when he guessed Isabel's birth weight 7 years ago.  

I'll be 39 weeks on Thursday, and little Ian turns 2 on Friday!!!  I can't believe he will be 2!  And I can't believe we are really about to have another baby!!  I've got to get to BJ's warehouse and stock up on food!!!!
