Week 35 and 36

Alrighty, I'm behind in posting maternity updates.  Everything is still going great.  The baby has dropped some and I have been having mild Braxton Hicks.  Everything at the Dr. has checked out great.  The baby's heart beat is always strong.

At the 36 week visit we were hoping the Dr would check to see if I am starting to progress any...they didn't and will start that next week.  They did the GBS test today...not enjoyable but at least it was fast.  We are grateful to hear the baby is growing bigger and is healthy and strong and we are anxious to know when things will start happening!

This past weekend I traveled for the last time (for a while).  Ashley's co-workers threw her a baby shower at her house.  It was fun celebrating with her!  I will post pics soon when I get them from ma.

Now we feel like we are playing the waiting game.  The nursery is done, my bags are packed, now we wait......

Week 35

Week 36

33 Weeks

We are now at 33 weeks!  We saw Dr. Rhodes today and everything looked great.  He said my numbers were perfect and we are measuring exactly where we should.  The past several weeks have been a whirl wind.  Winter Park Baptist threw us a shower as well as Florence Baptist.  We were extremely blessed and are grateful to have such generous loving people in our lives.  This baby is already so loved by many!  Now the organizing begins!  Next weekend is our last shower in Raleigh.  Hopefully everything can be organized and ready for baby shortly after that....because the countdown is on!  Our next appointment will be in 2 weeks (35 weeks).  Then, we start seeing the doctor each week...yikes!

I can feel the baby higher.  He likes to sit on my right side with his butt in my ribs.  He feels like a big guy as I can feel him at my ribs, on my side, and in my pelvis.  He moves a lot!  My back hurts constantly and I sit on a heating pad often.  That is my only complaint!  Other than that I have felt really good this entire pregnancy and I am thankful for good health for mama and baby!
