Appointment Update

I had my 36w5d appointment last night... it was the shortest appointment yet. My Group B Strep test was negative, the protein that I had in my urine last time has disappeared (protein can be a sign of preeclampsia), the swelling in my ankles has gone down a bit, and my weight has even gone down 2 pounds (probably because I was retaining water at my last appointment). She said that everything is completely normal and on schedule and healthy. Baby is measuring average, carrying low (and getting into place for birth). She said I could probably handle an 8lb 5oz baby (which is what I was) without too much problem. I had some cramping yesterday which she said is completely normal at this point. So, all is well - to the point of being boring. I hope it continues this way!!

On Saturday I'll be "term," which means that the baby is basically done baking and can come out at any time!
