This picture is not at 36 weeks but closer to 34.5 weeks.  Tomorrow I am 36 weeks along so that means 4 weeks to go!  We are getting really excited to have our little girl here.  Saturday we went and bought the stuff that we had to have to be fully ready for her arrival.

I am now on weekly doctor’s appointments and the appointment today went well.  I am measuring exactly 36 weeks, I have gained about 35 pounds, and my blood pressure was 110/60.  She said I am not dilated at all and the baby’s heart rate is good. 

They consider you full term at 37 weeks so the baby can come at any time after that without any worries.  I won’t mind if she comes early and am hoping that she doesn’t come late. 

Overall, I am feeling pretty well.  I am having more Braxton hicks, some slight cramping, and lower back pain, but the doctor said all of that is normal.  She actually seemed surprised that I wasn’t effaced or dilated since I was having those symptoms.  I am getting more uncomfortable but nothing major.  I actually expected it to be worse than it is. 

The baby’s room should be finished by this weekend so keep checking back for pictures.
