Ugh...weight gain...while I know it's necessary to gain weight for pregnancy it's hard to watch those numbers climb. Frustrating knowing what kind of metabolism I had before. Hopefully, it will come back after he's born.
I'm now in week 37 and ready to have him. He is already in the perfect position for the birth. Head down, back to my front. Everything is ready in the apartment. Yep, ready for little mans arrival. Corwin keeps rubbing the belly and telling him that we are ready to meet him.
I keep looking around the apartment, looking at all of the baby stuff and it still catches me off guard that I'm a mom...

Hospital visit March 24th 2011
Wednesday, March 23rd at around 10:30pm, our baby boy decided that causing contractions would be a good idea! Started with mild bleeding and progressed into consistant contractions. Called the hospital and was told to go in for observation. Get to the hospital around 11:30pm, get hooked up to the fetal monitor. Baby boy is moving around like crazy and his heart rate looks great. I get a full check up, everything is fine but my blood pressure is up a bit. Contractions stay regular but don't increase in strength. No dialation after a few hours, so the doctor gives me some medicne, monitors for a while longer.
Nurse comes in, checks my blood pressure again, it's still high and she says this concerns her. I replied with, "Of course it's up. I'm exhausted and have been stuck in the hospital since 11:30, it's now 4am." I'm put on modified bed rest to make sure baby boy stays where he's at.
We are released from the hospital at 5:15am. Get home, I have a snack and pass out. Corwin doesn't go into work until 9am due to being exhausted.
I've had braxton-hicks since but nothing to call the doctors about. Baby boy is doing fine.

Overdue update!
It's been way to long since I've updated this thing! Sorry!!!
Ok...we switched from Dr. Dion to the midwife program at OHSU. They are an AMAZING group of midwifes, actually ranked as number one in the country! I've always been interested in a water birth and Dr. Dion's practice does not offer it.
I've been going to OHSU since the middle of December and I couldn't be happier with them. They have a pre-natal group that you can do instead of one-on-one appointments. It's a lot of fun! Get to sit in a room with women who are very close to your own due date and discuss all the wonderful/not so wonderful things about pregnancy.
