Baby Bump - 36 weeks



Yep! We are at 36 weeks! Unbelievable! How am I doing? I am doing quite well. I have gained 27 pounds. I am experiencing the usual pregnancy problems: swollen feet, back ache, fatigue, etc. My blood sugar has been testing well. The doctor said at our last appointment that I'm 1cm dilated which doesn't mean a whole but it made me feel better. The baby is measuring healthy and her heart rate is where it should be. She is still very active. There was one night where she had pushed herself so far on my right side that it looked like she was hanging off the edge.

Tim and I are getting very excited and can't believe that we are so close to meeting our daughter finally. Tim has taken such good care of me during these months and I know he is going to make a great dad. He has been to every appointment and he has taken over a lot of my household duties along with doing his. I couldn't have dreamed up a better partner to help me through this. I am really looking forward to seeing him hold her since I have gotten to hold her this entire time. It'll be nice to share.

Also, this week is my last week at work and I am looking forward to having some time to rest (unless, she decides to come early).

In other baby related news, my brother and his wife had their first appointment this week and now have a due date of January 22. Oh, and Stephen was hired back so he is no longer looking for a job.
