36.5 weeks


Jesus, I have the world's worst acid reflux tonight. Overall felt good this week. Had a burst of energy most of the week (well relatively. A burst being like 15 mins at a time). Today felt exhausted though. Latest weekly bloodwork looked fine though two markers were not ideal. Uric acid has been trending slightly upward each week (this represents kidney function) And platelets still falling (down to 166K). According to doc's email today, both still well within normal levels, just something they will keep an eye on. (I think uric acid falls mid-pregnancy and then rises back to normal by end so this rising may actually be perfectly normal) On the positive side the big markers for preeclampsia still look good. BP trending around 112 over 65, urine negative for protein. Creatinine looked fine (kidney function again) and hematocrit level where it should be (too high means not enough expanded blood volume and correlated with pre-e). Still little to no swelling. Did a mile or so walk this evening waddling around neighborhood, having a big craving for a trail run once I am back in the post-pregnancy saddle.

Cramping and some contractions but no really sign my tenant plans to come out anytime soon.

3 days til full-term. Holy shit we just might make it.

And June 14th will mark the 5 year anniversary since I was hospitalized with preeclampsia.
