Wow, 35 weeks. I am basically at that point where its all sinking in and feeling very real. Only 4 weeks to go before we welcome this little one into the world, our lives change again, Abby gains a sister and our family grows again. Shaun, myself and I think even Abby welcome it all with open arms. On the other hand, Jack knows something is up and all the “small creature” stuff is coming out again and he is about to lose even more free space in the house. Im not sure hes embracing this future with open paws at the moment.

I am feeling good but pretty much ready for July 1st to come around. This baby moves a lot more then Abby did and certainly doesn’t seem to understand that she has no more room in there to bounce around. It can get very uncomfortable, especially when I am trying to sleep, but its all part of the last month of pregnancy. I think the real purpose of the last month of pregnancy is to prepare you for the lack of sleep and long nights ahead.

I had a doctors appointment today and everything went well. I am looking good, blood pressure is great and there didn’t seem to be any signs of labor or preeclampsia, both of which can be a concern at this point. Although my OB did say that if I were to go into labor at this point, there wouldn’t be anything done to stop the process. Wahoo! The fun begins.

The little one seems to be doing great. Her heartbeat is strong and well within healthy range. At this point she will put on 1 to 2 ounces per day which is very rapid growth… yay for mommy! Everything looks great though and she just needs to stay put until the 1st. Send good vibes our direction so that happens!
