36 weeks


5 days before Brandon

36 weeks with Baby b
I feel just as big with this one as I did with Brandon.

Baby should be the size of a honeydew

Symptoms:
Heartburn
Uncomfortable
Can't sleep
Hard to move
Nesting
No energy
Tired
Crampy
Skin stretching
(Sorry long list)

Cravings:
Slushies, soda, coolaid.

Movement:
He moves a lot but love every moment!

Thoughts:
I finally made it to the point of no return. He can come and the Dr's wont stop the labor. I am worried about labor, how big he is, and worried about what happened last labor will happen this time too. I know that my Jesus is in control, and He already knows when baby is going to come and what the labor is going to be like. I would love for him to come early but I know that god will bring him when it is time. I just have to remember that I will only be uncomfortable for a little while longer and that soon I will be holding my little boy!

Dr. Appt:

Heartrate: 150's
Blood pressure: She took it twice. First time was 120/70 and I asked the nurse to take it again. The second time it was 100/70.
Weight: + 17 lbs pre pregnancy.
Measure: 39 cm (at this time with Brandon I measured 36 cm.)

Well the baby had a growthspert. He jumped 5 cm in measurement and I gained 5 lbs. Tear, I didn't want to gain more than 15 lbs. Oh well. Just have to work harder to get rid of all the extra weight.

Dr. also did my strep B test. I am going to call in a couple days to get the results since I wont be there for 2 weeks. She also checked me and I am softening but not dilated. That is good.

I have 1 two week appointment and then I will be going every week.
I am now at the point of no return. They wont stop me if I go into labor. Wow... time went fast and I am finally nearing the end!
