ALL ABOUT ZAYDEN...

On Friday I had my 37 week check up, my doctor was out so I saw her NP, she just measured me and checked the baby's heartbeat--I am right on track. So far I have gained 20 pounds, hoping that I won't gain too much more but with the holidays and all the good food it's hard to do! The NP said that I could come back in two weeks since I have been doing so well, and have had no problems. So I go back after Christmas to see the doc.

This week my hands have been feeling stiff, they don't look swollen but they hurt, esp in the morning. Everyone says it is normal and will go away after the baby comes, I hope so! I have been feeling very tired too, taking lots of naps. No contractions this week like before, but Baby Z is moving a lot, I can tell he is running out of room though.

I am going to try to get the rest of Christmas wrapping done and have lunch with some friends while I am waiting to go into labor :) We also got out carseat checked out at the police station , and my hospital bag is packed! So not too much more left to do...I will post new pics I took of my belly soon, it definitely is bigger!
