Day by Day

I had an appointment with the midwife yesterday. She measured my belly and it is where it is supposed to be in size. I have gained 41/2 pounds but she took one look at my ankles and said that my ankles and legs are probably the reason for the weight gain. My blood pressure is still fine. We listened to Mikaela's heart beat and it is strong and beating about 140 bpm. Right on target. I am actually feeling Mikaela move right now. Of course I have had about 1/2 cup of coffee within the last hour.
I have another appointment on Thursday for my 37th week. My midwife told me she probably would not check to see if I was beginning to dilate til my 38th week unless I simply wanted her to check. I'll keep you posted.
