Nothing like meeting with your midwives to make you feel awesome. No joke, they are the best.
All week at work I hear the regulars, "Wow, you haven't had that baby yet?", "Wow, you look like you're going to pop", "Wow, you're huge". Usually from never been pregnant individuals. To which I silently curse them with having twins on their first pregnancy. Who's huge now, sucka?
Anyway, then I go visit the nurse midwives and they tell me I'm small for how far along I am (yes, this party could be bigger), that I've gained only 20 lbs, that my blood pressure is phenomenal, my body processes glucose like a boss (oh stop, I'm blushing), that my baby is healthy and right on track, and that I'm doing a great job. Thank you! That is wonderful to hear.
Other than that, there is nothing to report prego wise. All indications point to me going all 40 weeks....maybe 41 and I decided that I'm okay with that.
I am glad that my appointments are now once a week. It is a relief hearing his heartbeat and confirming that he is okay. This whole pregnancy I've been pretty level headed, but the last week or so I have been very anxious about something going wrong; worrying that I've missed something and my baby is in trouble, but I'm not responding to it...weird stuff like that wakes me up at 4 am and has me walking around the house making sure that baby is still moving.
Un-prego news: We have an apartment in Iowa!!! The reviews on it are great, meaning that most people that live there stay all four years. Even some of the univiersity administration live there. Which at first I thought was weird, but decided to interpert that as a good thing. We talked to the landlord Dan and love him! Kind of quirky, but good hearted and funny. I'll have a community garden just outside my door, a washer and dryer across the hall, a newly remodeled home, and a great neighborhood to jog around.
I just got really excited about moving to Iowa :)
