36 1/2 Weeks

I had a doctor's appointment today and found out I am already 2 cm dialated, and 50% effaced! I am feeling a few different emotions, mostly giddy, but a little apprehensive as well. I can't believe the time is almost here. I think she'll be early and my doc agree's. But who knows, you can never predict baby's plans! The movements really hurt. I have a hard time driving. And I have been told I have begun "nesting" (attempting to get my "nest" ready for baby). Well, not much longer left, as baby is considered full term at 37 weeks...

35 Weeks

Only 35 days to go!!! I can't believe my little angel will be here in 5 weeks! Things are progressing as the should. I still pee 8 times a night (apparently my body's infinitely wise way of preparing me for the lack of sleep when the baby arrives). I have started to get Braxton Hicks contractions in the last few days, which are like practice contractions for the big day. My doctor's appointment's will be once a week from now on. Cyndi is coming over today to take pregnancy pictures of me today. I'll post them as soon as I can...

32 1/2 weeks...

All is well with me and baby. I had my last doctor's appointment yesterday, (Thursday, Nov. 2, 2006) and I was told baby is thriving inside me! She is measuring big, approx. 34 weeks, and weighing in at about 5 pounds! Maybe she (yes, they confirmed, it is a girl) will be born earlier than thought. The kicks and punches are quite intense. She is already amusing others as my stomach is constantly moving due to her "aerobic's". I have decided to try to work right up until she is born, partly because I'd like to spend the most time with her after, but also because of a new job I applied for. Well that's all for now.
