My midwife appointment

Well, for starters, the trip to the inlaws was pretty much uneventful. I think I am still recovering from not getting as much sleep and/or rest that I should have gotten. I didn't get to exercise at all...I was in the van too much! Yesterday I was really tired and today I am a little tired but it isn't as bad as yesterday.

Monday was my midwife appointment and it went great! I have lost about 2-3 lbs in the last 3 weeks. We attribute that to me exercising and eating better...plus drinking A LOT water and my pregnancy tea. My blood sugar was normal for my 2hr so that is great. It is 20min until 11am and I haven't had anything to eat yet. I have been up since about 8:30am. I am hungry, but not feeling sick. I have taken my vitamins and chlorophyll. Also my blood is clotting very well. When she pricked my finger it clotted in about 6 sec. We are not sure but the baby could be breech or at least somewhat transverse (was at last u/s). But there is still a lot of room for the baby to move. I am feeling kicks everywhere. I am probably getting another u/s at the end of the month. I have been looking on www.spinningbabies.com so I know what to do just in case this baby is breech. I am also going to get a good pregnancy belt because that is supposedly good at lifting the baby out of the pelvis so they can move and get in the correct position. My blood pressure is good and other than the first 4mths or so...this has been a great pregnancy. My midwife even commented on how well I looked and that made me feel so good. I am not worried or concerned about the labor and delivery. I just keep thinking that I won't have anything ready for the birth and the baby! Mike and my midwife have told me that everything will be great and not to worry. Maybe I should start listening to them! :-)
