As of my appointment last Wednesday (Nov 2), I am still 2 pounds below the weight I started this pregnancy at. However, I think I like the scale at the perinatologist's office better. It measured me a full 3 pounds lighter. My blood pressure still is up a bit at the beginning of my appointments but its not too bad. But, after lying on my side for the NST, my BP was only 105/54. As long as it still drops like that, neither my OB nor I will worry.
Also, my OB talked to the doctors in the hospitals anesthesia department and they do not see any reason to admit me a day early. Because I don' have a classic presentation of a clotting disorder and because it has never affected my health, they are sure it will be more than enough to just discontinue the heparin 24 hrs before surgery. And, they do not see any reason I would not be able to have a spinal for the c-section. My next appointment is on Friday the 11th and I will be filling out all the paperwork for my c-section that day.
As promised, here are some belly shots...

Look at that belly!!
Everything sounds great, Kristin and you look wonderful!
What a nice belly you have there
:-)
One last picture request -- you HAVE to take one the day of your C-section. I think that would be lovely to share, but also a keepsake for Gabe's books, etc.
Only 3-1/2 weeks! WOWZERS!
You look so wonderful! Time really does fly, doesn't it? I wish you the best and can't wait to hear your birth story and see pictures!!!
love, Jenn

(and e-mail me your mailing address so I can send Gabe's gift!) :D
Wow, you are looking great! Can't believe there's so little time left, but also can't wait to welcome Gabe to the "outer" world. :)
Sorry I don't comment much, but I have been checking in on you as often as I can!
