34 weeks!

   34 weeks. Phew. This feels like a milestone, but 36 weeks will be my big milestone. I had Con at 35 weeks 4 days, and I really want to make it all the way to 39 weeks when my C-section is scheduled. I had my doctor's appointment today. It went great. I was there last Thursday as well b/c I had headaches and dizziness. It went away though, and my doctor thinks it is due to my allergies this season. Or, just the fact that I'm getting really anxious as May approaches. Still, I was worried for obvious reasons. My blood pressure was 118/70 last week and 116/70 today. Those are actually the lowest it has been this whole pregnancy, so I'm praying it stays that way, and these headaches subside. I read that it could mean high bp, but it can also just be due to being big, uncomfortable, and poor posture. Anyway, I'm enjoying my pregnancy and hoping things continue to go smoothly. Today, the doctor also told me that Austin is laying sideways. That would explain a lot of the pain in my sides when he kicks. It doesn't matter how he is laying since I am having a C-section though. I'm hoping these next 5 weeks fly by. We are ready for Austin. I'm waiting for his coming home outfit in the mail, and his bassinet should be here this week or next week :) Anyway, not much more to report!
