I had another nice, uneventful checkup today. Even after rushing to the doctor's early this morning only to find that my doctor was at the hospital in surgery, then rushing to work and rushing back at 11:00 to see a different doctor, then having to wait 45 minutes once I got there, my blood pressure was 122/74 - yay! This doctor said I am measuring right on track - 34 1/2 weeks, so either he has shifted position or she has a different measuring tape. Who knows? Baby's heartbeat was strong and steady in the 140's and he gave a nice visible squirm for the nurse. I guess I'll still have an ultrasound in a couple of weeks but I won't know for sure until my real doctor comes back after her vacation next week. Jaime's doctor is also part of this practice and she is currently on maternity leave, so they are stretched a little thin right now. I'm glad they will all be back by the time we are ready to deliver!
Speaking of my excellent blood pressure turnaround - I read right before Easter somewhere on the internet that some scientists somewhere had recently found a potential link between eating chocolate while pregnant and the prevention of pre-eclampsia. The timing could not have been more perfect! Unfortunately I have finally finished off all the chocolate eggs so I will have to find another source. Don't tell Zachary!

Cousins!
Me and Jaime on Easter Sunday - she is due almost exactly one month after me! Also a happy belated birthday to Jaime - her birthday was Sunday but I am not too on the ball these days. :)

Fun at the church kids' festival
I actually remembered my camera this time, but I forgot to check the batteries. Oops! But I got a few with my phone.
His favorite was the bouncy house.
He told me later that the slide part was a little too fast. He will slide more when he's bigger.

He rode the train twice, and smiled the whole time!
A pile of cuteness.
Unfortunately I did not get a picture later of his green hair, or my fashionable pink streak. :) Next time...

Update on Baby Brother
I had my 30 week appointment today and it went great - blood pressure was good, weight is good (still on track to end up less than half of what I gained with Zachary), BB's heartrate was good, and he is moving pretty much non-stop! He is still measuring about 3 weeks ahead, so she said we'll have an ultrasound in about six weeks to get a better estimate of his size. The most exciting part is that we are pencilled in for a scheduled C-section on June 1st! So, unless he has other plans before then, he will share a birthday with Alanis Morrisette, Heidi Klum, Morgan Freeman, and Marilyn Monroe, not to mention the first appearance of Superman in a comic book! She also said that if nothing drastic happens in the next six weeks, I'll have permission to go to Ben & Regan's wedding, though I can't see she didn't warn me that I would probably be uncomfortable. I told her not to worry, I have two cousins who are doctors, and she said 'not an ophthalmologist or something?' Uh, dermatologist actually. :)
