37 weeks!

Okay so technically today would be 36 weeks and 6 days but 37 just sounds so much better! I finally had my ultrasound. It was so nice to see our guy again. Wish I could have seen his face but the bugger was hiding. He is head down so that's good. She said all his measurements are about normal for 37 weeks so I'm not hiding a large baby in there. My fluid levels are 19. The normal scale is like 8 to 24 and the dr said most women are usually around like 15. So I'm not abnormal but on the higher side. When we met with the dr he did say that there is fluid in the baby's kidneys and its closer to the higher end but are still in normal range so it shouldn't be anything to worry about. He measured me and said well you're definitely pregnant. He thinks that just with my higher fluid levels and the way I carry, that's why I'm measuring larger. The heartbeat was good. I did the group B strep test. I didn't have to do it with Charlotte because it was detected early on with her in a urine sample. This time they gave me a swab to do myself. I won't go into details but it was an interesting experience. I've never had to do that before.

So I guess I'll get those results next week. Everything is still relatively normal and I'm on track. The dr told me while he's gone to just be careful. Gave me some restrictions. Next week I get to meet with his PA, Tiffany, then I see him the following week and I am keeping my fingers crossed that's my last appt until my 6 week check up. I'm just relieved that the u/s didn't turn up any big issues. So that's a relief. Oh and my weight didn't drop too much either. I think I was only down a pound or a pound and a half. Looks like I'm recovering fine from my bug I had. Its nice to see my veins popping up in my hands again. I also have a pic from Sat. I think it was. I figured I better get another one. It's not the best but that's ok. I'm pregnant. Do I really expect to look that good? And my sister did my hair Friday night. I decided to go back brown for now. She just did a demi so it'll lighten up a few shades but I really like it. She went back brown too. I figure I better get it done now since I'll be pretty busy here soon. We are getting all our last minute things done. Temple recommends expire next month and thought it'd be easier to take care of now so we got our first interview done and on my bday we go in with the stake. Last date night is this Sat. It'll be my bday date. We have reservations at The Roof and only have to pay half price thanks to being part of the frequent diner program. Love that! I got our taxes done and we should get that money on the 1st. It's gonna go fast. We have dr bills already, some other clothes I need to buy the baby to be set for the next while, carpets to clean, new tires for my car (I have one newer one I had to replace and my parents said for my bday present they'll pay for 2 so I only have to pay for 1), dentist bills that would have been cheaper but Scott needs a crown which he gets done today and I still need nursing bras. Nesting is here and I'm trying to take it one thing at a time. I'm soooooo excited though. I can't wait to see this little guy!
