Yesterday I had my 37 week visit with Debbie. All the kids AND my mom came, plus 2/3 of the apprentices were there. Let's just say it was .... crowded. It was a good appt, but short. We were only there about 35 min.
I gained 4 lbs in the last 3 weeks (which isn't bad with the swelling) bringing the total to 40. Bp was good, and belly measured at 41cm. Debbie agreed with me that the baby felt lower, although she fully expects me to go a couple more weeks. I do, too. We had trouble finding the baby with the fetoscope, so we brought out the Doppler. All the kids got super quiet and excited to hear the baby. It was so cute! He Had a beautiful strong HB at 136.
Last night, I finally had Joel practice blowing up the birth pool on his own. After he got that done to a satisfactory level, I had him hook up the hose and practice filling it. We decided to leave those hose attached to the sink since we don't really use it.
Then we got to practice emptying the pool! This is good in case he needs to take some cold water out for some reason.
And here's our wall of supplies....
