I just returned from my doctor's appointment. It went well. BP was fine, Emma's heartbeat was fast and strong, and my belly measurement is right on track. My weight jumped up a little over the past two weeks, so he said just to tweak my diet just a bit (no need for a crash diet). There are definitely some things I can cut out pretty easily. It doesn't help that it's been pretty hot this week and that I swell up every day, so I am retaining some fluid which could account for some of the weight, but he suggested to just watch what I eat a little bit closer just to be sure. I go back in two weeks and then start visits every week - a sign we are definitely getting close to D day!!
Oh, and one more thing, we think Emma is positioned somewhat sideways or transverse, so the doctor said they'd see if she's head down next time and if not, they might do an ultrasound to see how she is positioned. I wouldn't mind another ultrasound, but I hope she straightens herself out - otherwise there might be complications with my hopes for a natural delivery!
Have a great weekend everyone!

You are getting close! I feel for you in this crazy heat...no fun for it to be this hot when you are preggers. Extra protein will help with the fluid retention..spread it out throughout the day.
wow, big momma!!!!! we'll see you soon! love ya!
