How far along?: 35 wks 1d
No picture today. My mom has my camera and my phone SUCKS. I am definitely sticking out more this week so I will be sure to post a picture over the weekend.
35 weeks means 35 days till EDD. And I know I have been saying this for a few weeks but OH. MY. GOSH.
We can actually countdown now. Let the countdown begin!!!
Total weight gain: 30 lbs total. That means I gained 1 lb in 2 weeks. I told you guys that would happen. All that walking at Disney hid the fact that scarfed an entire package of Oreo’s in 4 days.
Appointment update: This is a new thing I will do every week since I am weekly appointments. >gulp<
Today I had the Group B Strep test. While I had my pants off the doctor decided to do a quick little exam to see if the contractions are doing anything.
They aren’t. Damn.
I am not dilated at all,-3 station and 30% effaced.
In order to push the baby out I need to be:
Dilated to a 10, +4 and 100% effaced.
The doctor said it is up to me to be checked at my next appointments. I think I will skip it at my 36 wk appt and have her check me @ my 37 wk appt. If there is no progress then I will skip the internals all together. They are just a tease anyway. I walked around dilated to a 3 and 50% effaced for 3 weeks with Nylin!
Good news though- Peanut is head down! It is still possible for Peanut to flip but it would hurt like hell for me and be hard for him or her. I am hoping Peanut is down to stay.
Peanut’s growth:
Peanut doesn't have much room to maneuver now that s/he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds, which is about the weight of a honeydew melon. These nest few weeks are super important for lung development and fat growth. Peanut will be packing on the pounds, which is going to kill Momma’s back!!!!
Sleep: still sucks
Best moment of the week: hearing Peanut’s little heartbeat. Love it!
Worst moment of the week: back lower back is KILLING me.
Movement: A LOT!!
Gender: Surprise
Food cravings: Oreo’s!
Labor signs: lots of contractions
What I miss most: bending over without grunting
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting my little Peanut!
Next appointment: May 6th.
Look at this month. IT IS CRAZY!!!!!! So much to do and somewhere in there I am going to have a newborn baby. Wow.
