My 34 week appointment
I JUST got home from my appointment. I'll try to remember the important stuff.
So... She asked me if I was on the list for the stork's nest (their place for women that live outside Yokosuka) and I told her I was. Of course, I don't know yet if I have a spot, but I will know in a few short weeks.
We did the regular check-up procedure. My fundal (uterus) height is 32. It is supposed to match the number of weeks I am, but there is no worries since it is only 2cm off. Baby's heartbeat was in the 140s. Thats good.
She says that I've gained about 28 lbs since I got pregnant and told me I'm doing fine. Just don't pass the 35 lb mark because its harder to take off later. I gained a lot while in the states, but I really don't feel like broadcasting the number all over the internet. If you really wanna know, email me.
The baby is laying head down, which is obviously good. I just hope she stays that way for the next 5.5 weeks. She didn't mention any concerns over premature labor.
Oh, the sad news is that I won't get any more ultrasounds. I was hoping to get a glimpse and how chubby she is getting and have a better idea on her size. I thought they may give me an estimate later on how big she may be at birth.
I mentioned my nasal congestion and she got me a bottle of saline nose spray. Hopefully that will help. Since Danny won't be home for a few more weeks yet, I asked her about what I should do in an emergency. She said that I should call labor & delivery (of course) and although my friends have children, nearly anyone would be willing to help out a pregnant lady. :) The average time of labor for a first child is 27 hours, so I could drive myself down to Yokosuka. A lot of books and websites tell you not to, but she said I should be okay if I needed to. Of course if I have bleeding or my water breaks then I need to call the ambulance in Negishi and they would get me to Yokosuka. That is good to know because I didn't think they would.
We also talked about birth control and all the exciting paperwork we get to do, but I don't need to share those details.
I took some time after my appointment to start picking up all the little things I have left to buy for the baby. I got about halfway through my list. I think I'll have to get a lot of stuff online 'cause they just don't carry it here.
My next appointment will be on August 13th.

Quick update
Everything is going well. Mocha is returning to normal and eating again. I have an appointment tomorrow and will update as soon as I get home. Maybe I'll get another ultrasound...
I am trying to get important baby stuff done still. It always seems like there is a lot left to do. Still keeping time for non-baby stuff too. My poor gardening is recovering. I am finally getting some rain though. Glad I don't have to water tonight. It was sunny and hot. Out of nowhere I started hearing thunder. Now it is stormy and rainy, but I'm good inside in my pjs. :)

It's been a whole month?!
Okay, so I know it has been a while since I updated. Most everybody who reads this saw me while I was in the states, so I just didn't write anything. The longer I don't update, the more I dread it.
I've been home since Wednesday night (my time) and not doing a whole lot around here. Today is the first day I didn't leave the house, but it's so hot outside I don't want to. Didn't even check the mail.
Right now my brain is gearing up for the final stretch. I am getting the nursery decorated and figuring out what I have left to do. The car seat arrived on the 17th and is sitting in the living room waiting for Danny to get home and install it. I am perfectly capable of doing it (it isn't as heavy as I thought it would be), but he wants me to let him.
Everything pregnancy related is going perfectly normal. I am excited for my appointment on Wednesday. I know I have no reason to worry, but I have to think a little about the fact that Danny won't be home for another month and I'm due in 6 weeks. If I went into labor, I have no idea what I'd do.
Anyway, I'm sure everyone will worry about me being here alone, so I'll try to update as much as possible. My neighbors are in DC, but their friend is staying in the house so there is someone around if I need anything.
