today i had my 37 week dr. appointment. when i went to my 37 week appointment with greta, i was sent straight to the hospital where she was delivered a few hours later by emergency c section. needless to say, i was a bit anxious for today's appointment.
but except for the appointment taking FOREVER because of a switch to electronic medical records (indicated by the letters EMR written in red on my chart that i pessimistically assumed meant 'emergency'), all was well.
blood pressure....normal. swelling....minimal. platelet count....good. and weight gain? according to the doc, my weight gain is "awesome". awesome? not sure weight gain can be "awesome", but i'll take the compliment. they will keep checking all of these things each week to make sure that the preeclampsia doesn't return. but i'm feeling good. really good actually. except i cry a few times each day. but if you know me, that's not really a symptom of pregnancy but more a symptom of melanie.
week 38 here i come. from here on out, these are uncharted waters.
