36 weeks

Yesterday I had my 36 week appointment and things continue to look good. The best news is that Hudson has turned again. He is once again head down (he turned night before last, and it's such a relief to not have his head in my ribs anymore!), I am measuring about 1/2 a week a head now, but still ahead which is great and my blood pressure has stayed consistently 120/70. I gained 1 lb in the last 2 weeks, so I think I may be able to stay under the 30 lbs total weight gain that I was hoping for. Hudson's heart rate was 139 (which is more in line with where it has been, it was a little higher last week) and as usual he kicked the doppler right off my stomach. My doctor commented again that he must be doing soccer practice in there. Really it's just that he doesn't like any pressure against him! I am about a finger tip dilated and 30% effaced but negative engaged (Everyone comments about how high I am carrying still it seems.) My doctor isn't in next Monday or Tuesday so my next appointment is next Wednesday. I still am just in shock (very good shock) that things are still going so well and we are still just plugging along. Only a few more weeks and Hudson will be here!
