You guessed it...another boring check up post :P

Headed to the doc again yesterday. 37 weeks, which happens to officially make me FULL TERM! While that means little to Isaiah, it means I can spend the next 3 weeks wondering why he's still hanging out in there, when he is good and baked already.

So anyway, I had another boring checkup. Up to 19lbs now. They say the last month your weight levels off and you stop gaining so much, but after hearing I was only up 17lbs total last week I went on a cinnamon roll and halloween candy binge. And while I don't exactly mind gaining weight, I'm feeling slightly guilty knowing he's probably in there all hopped up on sugar. My blood pressure was freakishly amazing for my end of pregnancy normal (which is usually high!) and my belly measured at 36 weeks...also very normal for me (I always measure 1-2 weeks behind and have with all the kiddos).

It was also wonderful to, yet again, go in alone (thanks Brooke!). Last week I was brave and decided to take the boys along and while they were perfect angels for me in the waiting room, all hell broke lose when we got called back. Noah flipped his lid when I gave a urine sample, and he insisted it was juice that he should be allowed to drink, and had a meltdown when I refused to let him have it, Eli threw raisins all over the room and while I was picking them up I realized that while I thought I was throwing them in the trash, I was in fact throwing them in the laundry bin, and Eli got into some drawer and pulled out one of those long sticks they use to do pap smears and threw the mother of all fits when I refused to let him brush his teeth with it. Hmmm...maybe that's why my blood pressure was so much higher last week...
