Well yesterday I had my 37-week appointment and once again, it was a waste of my morning in Lubbock! (Which is a good thing compared to the alternative!) Of course, when the appointment was scheduled for 8:40 and you don't see the doc until about 9:30 you are bound to get a little irritated right?! Well thankfully it DID NOT raise my blood pressure (110/71) and did little harm to Bubba Jack (his heart rate was 142 bpm). She did tell me that when she was listening to him that he did not like me laying on my back (I suppose his heart rate was going down but she didn't actually say that) and told me the best thing is to make sure and lay on my sides. (Which unfortuately is much more uncomfortable now because he tends to go with gravity and ball up on the side that I am laying on which equals little sleep!) I only gained 1 pound and my cervix is still closed! I actually told her to not even waste her time checking me because I knew there was nothing happening and it was a waste of time for her AND for me! So, overall he is is NO HURRY to join our chaotic life and that's ok! He can cook as long as he wants but hopefully won't get too big; I have to admit that Berk spoiled me by only being a 5 lb. 8 oz. baby and I don't know how I will react to a bigger one! (And everyone seems to think he WILL be bigger!) This weekend we have plenty to do; I need to get all my lesson plan stuff ready JUST IN CASE Mr. Jack decides he wants to grace us early and we also have tickets to the Tech vs. Texas game tomorrow afternoon along with Randi Beth's baby shower. Needless to say it will be a weekend of great family fun and hopefully not going into labor walking up the mile-long steps at United Spirit Arena! But anyway just thought I would let everyone know how the check up went! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
