36 week check up

I have made it to 36 weeks.  I had an appointment yesterday, and all was well.  I am still dilated to just a 2 and 50% effaced.  I have gained a little more weight than I would like, but Suzanne thought it was so water weight.  With temps over 100 degrees, it could be water retention.  None the less, the baby's heartbeat was great.  Suzanne is predicting a boy based on the heartbeat.  She didn't say what the heartbeat was, but that was her prediction.  My blood pressure was a little high yesterday (128 over 84...it has been running 110 over 70), hopefully that was just a fluke.  They are going to keep an eye on it.  I am still feeling lots of low pressure.  At times it is even painful.  Baby Luther continues to move quite a bit but the movement is lessening.  I am so excited about baby Luther's arrival.  I am feeling prepared (room ready, bottles ready, car seat ready, etc.).  Until 37 weeks, I am still on bed rest.  After that, restrictions will be lifted (well, pending my blood pressure), and I will be back to my normal busy self.
