Hi Everyone,
I went to the doctors today, everything is great, the baby's heart rate sounds nice and strong and I still have lots of movement from the baby which is good. My blood pressure was very normal for me - 103/57 and my weight gain was right on track - 1.5 pounds. That brings me to a grand total so far of 26.5 pounds. I have only 3 weeks to go!
Even with all these Braxton Hicks contractions I have been having the doctor told me that can go on for a while like this. I am not to be alarmed & don't call unless my contractions are lasting for a full minute and have gone on for an hour in duration & they are about 5 minutes apart.
I told the doctor I thought I would be stronger than this, because these "fake contraction" freaking hurt and they only last like 15 seconds! I am in for a world of pain!
On another note, I am still working out as usual getting to the gym 4 days a week along with walks on the weekend. Also doing lots of house work which is equally tiring as the gym it seems! I have not felt at all exhausted like I had expected to feel in my last month and I think the gym is to thank for this. Keeping up with all my working out really has paid off it seems. I also have not retained any water in my hands/feet and that could be attributed to working out too because it helps your circulation allot.
Adam and I have been working really hard around the house doing odds & ends that needed to be done since we moved in Fall of 2008. The list goes on and on but most importantly, in the past month the upstairs bathroom & linen closet have really taken shape. The bathroom was a complete gut & re-model and should be completed this weekend. All that is left is to tile the shower enclosure and put up a shower rod/shower curtain.
This was a huge goal for us to have done prior to the baby arriving and it looks like if the baby holds on for another week Adam will have time to get the tiling done! Once the finished product is done I will post before & after pictures. Also, once the bathroom is done every room in our house has been completely remodeled, in just over a years time. It seemed like such a long road back in April 2008 when we bought this house! If Adam wasn't the handy man that I married it would have never happened, all his hard work on the weekends & week nights after a long day of manual labor on a construction site is greatly appreciated!

Good to hear that everything and everyone is doing so well! And I know what you mean about housework seeming just as tough as working out: I feel the same way.
