I wanted to give a quick 37 week update. Not much has changed honestly since last week. I went to my normal appointment, nothing is really progressing which is good because baby isn’t considered term yet, at least not until next week. We did discuss with my doctor about what would happen if baby decides she doesn’t want to come and in that scenario I would be induced at 41 weeks if there’s no changes in mine or the babys health. My blood pressure was slightly elevated but that’s normal and I rushed to the appointment. I’m just continuing to take things easy. I’m working on wrapping up things at work and creating a maternity leave binder for my manager. This Friday I’m excited because we have our work holiday party and we’ll be bowling and then this weekend Conor’s parents are coming. We’ll spend time walking around Philly and then I think we’re getting dinner at a wonderful restaurant called R2L.

Our 36 Week Appointment

My 36-week appointment is the first of my weekly appointments. From here on out I’ll be seeing my doctor every single week until I have my little one in my arms. I actually really enjoy seeing my doctor, she is the absolute sweetest and offers fantastic advice for us since Conor is in medical school. Work has been absolutely wonderful in allowing me to use flex time for my appointments. Basically, all I need to do is just make up the hours later so I just normally come in super early those days and stay late. This week I got an update on my Holter monitor which was a relief. There was an anomaly throughout the 24 hour time period
