kitten updates

well, she turned and she is not breech anymore! so we are thrilled about that, and there is a 97% chance that she will stay that way.

after last month's catastrophic weight gain, i have only gained ONE pound in the last two weeks, so i am very happy to be back on track.

my blood pressure is still only 120/60, so everyone who keeps pointing out that my ankles are really swollen (because that's just SO helpful, really, thanks, i hadn't noticed) and telling me that i'm going to get preeclampsia can just pass the salt shaker, please, because it's nothing more than water retention and the heat. i mean, YOU try carrying around another person when it's 92 degrees outside.

and she's measuring exactly right for 30 weeks, but still no word on how much she'll weigh. we'll see. we already know she's got her daddy's muscular legs and is a soccer player in the making because she's incredibly active in there. it's like her own personal trampoline. ouch!

my doctor says everything is perfect and we're "overachievers." let's hope it continues that way for the next 9 weeks.

good job on the overachieving. and glad to hear she's now the right way! I can't believe how close you're getting...

Everything sounds great! I am getting very excited. I am anonymous. I mistakenly hit something wrong.

So what's up with that "overachiever" statement? You come from a long history of overachievers - it's normal for us ;) Welcome to the Overachiever Women's Club Aislinn!
