36 Week Update

How many weeks?  I am officially 9 months pregnant!  Can you believe it?!?  I can’t get over that the end is so close.

Looking back, I remember when I used to think that I was totally showing here at 20 weeks… 20.2Ha!  This was nothing compared to me now!

How am I feeling?   I’m feeling very pregnant these days.  Still really nothing to complain about; just those normal last month aches and pains.

Doctor’s Appointment? I learned at my last OB checkup that I am 70% effaced and 1 cm dilated!  Woohoo! My doctor also says that Taylor has dropped some too.  It’s so great to be excited about labor signs, now that it is the right time!  Today, we had my last and final ultrasound and Taylor is still measuring 2 weeks ahead and is approximately 7.1 pounds.  She’s going to be one chunky monkey!

Weight Gain? 22 pounds.  (thanks Easter candy!)

Baby Preparation? I am keeping busy in the evenings nesting.  Prepping the nursery, cleaning out closets, and even organizing the spice cabinet!  Nesting is fun!

The nursery is complete now that the rocking chair has arrived.  All we need now is the baby!IMG_2384 (1)

    Can't wait to see Taylor "in person".

    And I'm not sure I said it before, but I LOVE the "green bean birds" on the nursery wall!

    I am so excited for you! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I understand your emotions. Though a different situation, I gave birth to a gorgeous silent angel almost 6 years ago at 34 weeks pregnant(there were issues starting at about 27 weeks). So when I got pregnant with my June 2010 baby, I had soooo many stresses as to what ifs. Especially since my issues did not begin until further and the doctors expected I would give birth to a sick baby, not a still born. I understand that you never know what to expect until your baby is out, breathing, and given a clean bill or health. Most people see the positive pregnancy test and start planning for the baby to come, I saw the positive test and wasnt sure, I wasnt sure until I had him in my arms. I had to do ultrasounds every two weeks from 7 weeks gestation until 36 weeks and then was induced at 38 weeks. He is a healthy happy, gorgeous, funny addition to our family!!
