37 week ultrasound

*37 weeks*

Today was our 37 week appt! Wow! Addison still wasn't cooperative during the ultrasound today. We did manage a couple of photos & some incredible video of her breathing the amniotic fluid in & out through her nose. She is measuring right on target now @ 37 weeks & is in the 44th percentile. The tech is estimating her weight right now to be 6lbs 9ozs. No wonder I am beginning to feel some discomfort! I have a watermelon in my belly!

*36 week check-up*

Today was another routine appointment. Addison's heart rate was 150 & I have only put on a pound since last week! Nothing else to report :-)

Uncomfortable

I think I did too much today! Blake & I went shopping earlier & ever since we got home I have been contracting (Braxton-Hicks only, I think). I have tried a warm bath, drinking water, laying on left side, walking around, etc. Now I am ready for sleep, so hopefully they will subside & I can rest. Addison is very active, as always. I wonder if she will be this active outside of my belly??? Probably so!

Ankles?

Well, yesterday for the first time, I experienced 'swelling'. I took my shoes & socks off, but my ankles were nowhere to be found! Hope this doesn't last the next 5 weeks. Warmer weather = sandals & capris - BUT not if you don't have ankles. LOL Other than the annoying swelling, me & Addison are doing fantastic.

*35 weeks*

Yesterday was our 35 week appointment. Now we start going once a week until Addison decides to make an appearance. Her heart rate was 145 & so was my weight this time. Dr. Lee isn't concerned at all about how much weight I've gained. I've had a textbook pregnancy without any problems and me & Addy are both healthy. We have another ultrasound scheduled for 4/15. Dr. Lee wants to do another growth check & estimate her size. I sure hope Addison likes cameras more than she likes ultrasounds :)
