35 Weeks, 5 Days

I had my 36 week appointment on Wednesday.  I think I was up to about 164 lbs and my blood pressure was low (but I was never told the actual number).

My doctor finally checked me and I'm not dilated yet, but the baby's head is down.  I'm still measuring one week ahead but my doctor doesn't want to do an ultrasound until about 10 days before my due date.  She thinks that if I have him early, we are fine doing a VBAC since he'll be smaller.  At 10 days out, we can see if he's too large and then plan a c-section (like we did with Rylan).  I wish we'd do an ultrasound earlier but she doesn't agree and it's hard to argue with your doctor!

I've been extra tired and weak lately.  My doctor said it's probably a combination of being in my last month, still being anemic, my low blood pressure, and my varicose vein issue which is causing crazy swelling in my right let (thus there is a lot of blood pooling there that doesn't get back up to my heart).  I'm trying to wear my compression socks more but it's still be so hot that I've been avoiding them when not at the house.  Hopefully it'll really cool off soon!
