38 weeks

38 weeks brought about little Williams' first birthday!  We had so much fun at his birthday party and felt honored to be a part of it.  It has been such fun watching him grow up this past year, especially knowing for most of it that our little one will be almost exactly one year behind him.  So seeing what kind of developmental stage he was at for all the year's big events has been really fun for us.  We can't wait for our little guy to meet him and his dads.  Such a blessing.

I felt pretty good for the week!  Over the weekend I was having some headaches and decided to call my dr Monday morning about them.  I knew it could be a sign of pre-eclampsia and though I've had no hint of high blood pressure in the past, it's better to be safe than sorry.  So Monday morning they had me come in just to run a few tests and all was great.  I even got to hear the baby's heart beat again - which is always a treat!  I had my regularaly scheduled appointment on Wednesday and the doctor said though I was showing more progress than a lot of first time mom's (meaning I'm showing any progress at all) she expected that I would be in for my 40 week appointment.  So we wait. :)  Other than the headaches, I'd say my other symptoms are on track for nearing my due date.  I don't sleep so great, have lots of Braxton Hicks, and general pressure/uncomfortableness.  Really nothing I can complain about though - I feel pretty fortunate to still be up and about and enjoying these last few weeks just me and Bryan.

One really nice thing that started at 38 weeks was I am now officially working from home.  Not having to get up and find something to wear to work every morning that still fits is such a treat!  I don't have a whole lot going on at work right now, which is especially nice because I can get stuff done around the house and go on some long walks during the day.
