I had my 36 week appt. yesterday. 36 weeks-that means I am 9 months pregnant, 4 weeks away from my due date, but 2 weeks away from when I delivered Grayson. I have gained exactly 25 lbs, so that means it is time for her to arrive. My blood pressure and pulse remain normal and low and I still don't have any swelling. At this appt. the Dr. did check my cervix and I am already 50% effaced (thinned out) and a good 1 cm (almost 2 cm) dilated and my belly is measuring at 37 cm, which is about a cm bigger than where I should be at this point. I have been having A LOT of braxton hicks with this pregnancy, so it seems some of them have been productive contractions. Hopefully they continue to be productive and she will be here in the next two and a half weeks. She has to hold off for 2 1/2 more weeks because my thoughtful husband got me mother's rings for mothers day with all my babies birthstones-including baby girls! So, if she is born in August I have to return the sapphire (Sept. birthstone which I LOVE!) and get the peridot (August birthstone, which is also my birthstone, which I don't think it the prettiest-bleck!). Therefor she must be born Sept. 1st. But no later than, because as we all know I am SOOOOOO ready to have this baby!!!!!!!! Here are my latest belly shots.
Holy Moley this belly is huge!!
