36 weeks and bi-weekly Dr appointments

We had a doctor's appointment on Thursday.  All went pretty well.  We got to see the baby again, he weighs 6 pounds 10 ounces!  He's in the 60th percentile, but his head and belly are a little bigger than the rest of him so those are in about the 75th percentile.  :)  He looks great though!!!  My blood pressure increased a little so we've upped my meds slightly and I'm going to start the bi-weekly visits (high BP during pregnancy puts me in the high risk category which requires bi-weekly visits...previously my BP was staying low, with my normal med dosage, so the doctor didn't have me increase my visits).  My next appointment is tomorrow afternoon.  Then again on Thursday.

How am I feeling?  My lower back aches almost constantly which has brought on the waddle.  :)  I haven't want to do much of anything...I've even slowed down on baking.  I can tell that the baby is a little lower or at least he's been positioned differently because I have been peeing all.the.time.  Tim and I got a lot accomplished this weekend.  Kaelyn spent the day with her Aunt Karen on Saturday so Tim and I got some cleaning and organizing done.  We went shopping for some baby things today so I've been able to do a little more organizing this evening.  I've put a few things in my hospital bag, but don't have that nearly ready yet.  We've got 3 weeks left!!  Just can't believe we're going to have another baby in the house!!
