My blood pressure was a little bit lower too which was great - 119/68. And the baby's heart rate was the lowest it's ever been - 126 beats per minute. Is that a sign it's a boy or girl?? Who knows but we're so excited to find out!
Our next appointment is Thursday, August 4th at 4pm. We also have an appointment for an induction on Monday, August 8th (I'll be 41 weeks pregnant by then) should Baby Grenko decide he/she is loving it in the belly and wants to keep us all in suspense. As much as I'd hate to be induced, it is comforting knowing we'll finally get to meet Little Baby G in at most 11 days. And also, that Little Baby G still has another 10 days to figure out how the heck to get out. If anyone needs me, I'll be eating lots of spicy food and drinking lots of raspberry tea in the meantime :)
On a side note, Patrick (also known as Grenko) would like to say hi to 3 of his Ruggieri buddies - Cara, Charlie, and Ryan. And as requested...here are more pics of Grenko himself.
Try a really good pedicure. Tell them to work a good massage on the bottom of your feet. I had a pedicure in the morning, when I was pregnant with Kian, and that evening I went into labor. I have 3 other friends who swear by it as well. :)
ReplyDeleteLove ya!!
Hey Kris!
ReplyDeleteI've heard the same thing about pedicures! I just got one last week and made Patrick give me a good foot rub last night so hopefully that triggers something :) Did you go late with Kian? I can't remember what your due date was.
Kian was 39 weeks. The funny thing is, I said my due date was going to be September 18th, even though the doctor said it was going to be the 22nd. A mother just knows. Right before I went into labor, I HAD to have Kian's crib made up and ready. Paul, of course, was looking at me like I was crazy, because it wasn't my due date. Sure enough, that evening I went into labor.
