36 weeks and counting!

Went in for my 36 week check-up today. I've been going weekly now for 3 weeks and it'll stay that way til Little Bird arrives.

Last week my BP was still on the high side, so I've been put on a hypertension med and had to do a 24-hour urinalysis. Fortunately, the med seems to be working and the urinalysis came back negative (for now).

LB's heartrate was 145 bpm and he's still head down. I've begun effacing and am a little over 1cm dilated - it has begun!

I'm still feeling pretty good. I've managed to keep the swelling to a minimum and am holding steady at 16 pounds gained.
