i am thirty six & a half weeks today! it's business time, people! and can i just say... i am ready.
this has been such a wonderful pregnancy. though i have nothing to compare it to, i know that i am very blessed to have been handed the pregnancy symptoms i was. i felt healthy & happy for most of it and really the only things i have to complain about is the tired feeling 24/7, the heartburn, and the stretch marks. ohhhhhh the stretch marks. but those will fade with time RIGHT!?
in retrospect, i feel beautiful and strong. i am so amazed at what my body has been able to do these past few months. and very soon baby girl will be here & i will be amazed all over again. I CAN'T WAIT TO BE A MOM!!
in pregnancy news:
- i dragged trav to a childbirth class last weekend. we learned how to "hee hee HOO" and all that jazz. i found it so very helpful, i think travis did too. we even got to tour the hospital we'll be delivering at!
- we moved into our new apartment and I LOVE IT! whoever invented a washer/dryer... i want to kiss them. all over. big sloppy ones. i seriously love travis for getting us this and making it so i don't have to go the the laundromat week after week.
- at the doctor's today we were surprised with another ultrasound! she's still head down & very wiggly. and measuring 7 pounds. at 36 weeks! that's the gestational diabetes for you!! the doctor said that ultrasounds are often off with their measurements, but if not... and since babes grow about a 1/2 pound a week... i very well could be delivering a ten pound baby. let's hope my vajay is up for the task!

I hear that the hormone that causes heartburn is also what triggers hair growth in the fetus, you little girl will have beautiful hair:) focus on that!
I had heartburn all the time and my baby girl had a head full of hair! :-) I feel ya with the stretch marks! Its all worth it though :-)
to have nothing to compare it to yet you are feeling great- thats AMAZING. i swear, when i am pregnant, i'm going to think i'm having the worst pregnancy out of anyone on earth.
or i'll try to be so positive like you whether or not i am feeling good. you're awesome!
You are the most adorable super prego woman ever!!!
I have been following your blog for quite some time and am so happy for you and Travis! I know you'll be a great mama!
