36 Week Update

Well, we had our Dr appointment yesterday and basically it's just a waiting game now. We did get an ultrasound and found out that the baby is aprox. 6lbs 10oz right now and could gain about 1oz per day until she is born. In other words, she has the potential of being between 8 1/2 and 9lbs! AHHH!!! She needs to come out NOW! :)

Everything else is going well too, my weight... still the same. I'm at the same weight as I was before I was pregnant! Good for me, just means when the baby does come out I'll be losing about 15 pounds right away! :) My blood pressure was 130/80 so thats not bad. When we were in the hospital the other night it had gotten a little high, but what can you expect when I'm getting contractions. Baby's heart sounded great as well. She was moving around like the little worm-child she already is and her heartrate was 169. Nice and strong!

We did find out that she is head down, of course, and that she is facing my left hip. We did get a great picture of her face because of her position and I call her my little chipmunk because she has the cutest cheeks! She looks beautiful already and all I can see is the black and white fuzzy outline of her bones! She has a tiny nose though and ugh I'm just so excited to meet her. I wish she would just come out!!!

Well since we were in the hospital the other night the contractions have slowed and I am back to getting them every so often throughout the day. They have no pattern, some are a little stronger (ok, a lot stronger) than others but still just random. We took a walk last night, although not a far one because I hurt too much to walk that far, hoping that would kick us into Active labor. So far, nothing yet! I'm excited about her starting to come, but I could be in this early part of labor until her due date in 3 1/2 weeks!!

Well we will keep updating until she comes... hopefully it's sooner rather than later!! :)
