Doctors Appointment

The little man has now made it to 36 weeks, and will be considered full term in one more week. Knowing he could come anytime in the next few weeks is very exciting! I didn't gain any more weight this week which is okay with me. Despite my sausage fingers, toes, and cankles my blood pressure is great 112/66 so there are no worries...it's all part of being 9 months preggy. Thank goodness for Uggs, they are my only footwear that currently fit! The baby's heart rate was good and strong. This week he's shedding most of his downy covering of hair as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that has been covering his skin for the past 8 months. He will swallow both of these substances and other secretions which will form his first dirty diaper!
