35 Week Update

How many weeks?  I am 35 weeks!  Who knows now big Taylor is now, since the doc said she was about 5 1/2 pounds 3 weeks ago.  Could I really have a 9 pounder in about a month?!?  I was almost a 10 pound baby, so anything is possible!

35.1

How am I feeling?   I’m still feeling good.  The tiredness has hit me again, but other than that I feel really normal.  I am getting antsy and wishing Taylor would come sooner than later, but I can wait.  Whatever is best for her.  I have endured way worse before, so waiting a few more weeks for my full term baby is nothing.  I know so many people that would give anything to be 35 weeks pregnant and going strong, so I will not take this for granted.

Doctor’s Appointment? I have a standard OB appointment this week and go back for a final ultrasound next week with my Peri.  I can’t wait to see her again!  Last week was my last progesterone shot!  WooHoo!

Weight Gain? 21 pounds.lg 8

Baby Preparation?  Baby Shower – check!  Baby laundry – check!  Now all that’s left is to re-pack our hospital bag and wait for the contractions to start!  (I had packed a hospital bag at 17 weeks because I wanted to be ready in case I was admitted to the hospital.  Thank God, we never needed that, so now I am going to repack it in preparation for delivery!)

  3. You continue to amaze me hw beautiful you look each and every week. I CANNOT believe youre already 35 weeks ! WHOO WHO!! Doing Awesome! Just a few more weeks left and sweet baby Taylor will be in your arms!

    Btw, from your last post, I was in Target yesterday, and I saw a mom with that stroller you were talking about! I ALMOST went up to her and asked how she likes it and if she would recommend it but I didn't! :( Phoey! But I surely htought of you! I love the stroller look, but so sad to hear about the downside of it! I commented on the post but for some reason I dont think it went through or let me do it , I was so mad ! ha ANyways, I hope it works out for you either way! Its super cute tho!

  5. Lauren,
    I read your blog a year or so back and was heart broken by your loss yet found strength in your ability to turn things completely over to God. I ran across it again today while visiting the Cochran Crew's site thru another friend (funny how blogs work like that huh) and saw you are expecting a beautiful baby girl here in a few weeks! I wanted to pass along my congrats to you and best wishes and will be sure to check back often to see your beautiful Taylor! :)

  8. There should be no reason for you to go to full term with this baby since you are only having one baby. Your body is not meant to carry so many babies so its good that you are only carrying one this time.
