34 weeks

Today (9/15) I had my 34 week appointment with Dr. Geittmann. He delivered both girls, so they always like to see him!! I only gained 1 pound, putting me at 158. Baby's heart rate was 164 (and she kept kicking the nurse who was trying to get the heart rate, which Loren found hilarious)! My blood pressure was high, 146/96. So they had me lay on my left side for a while and then it went back down to a more reasonable 120/80 range. Baby still seems to be measuring big. As the doctor said "Looks like you're cooking a big baby in there!" Other than the blood pressure being high, everything looks good. I got the flu shot today, which made the girls very nervous! They stared at the nurse with horror on their faces as she gave me the shot! Kind of funny!! Now I have to go to the doctor weekly to keep an eye on the blood pressure, and the doctor said to me "Try to lay down as much as possible" then looked at the girls and continues "which I know may be difficult!" We'll see what happens with all this! I can't believe how close it's getting! Yikes!!!
