36 week update!

Monday was my 36 week mark so I am now at 36 1/2! Yes, every half week counts at this stage! 

On Monday at my appointment, they had me up 18 pounds, I myself have that I am up 24 pounds. This was also the great Group B strep test and so while she was down there, she checked me too. I don't have my results back yet from the GBS test. Baby is still super high but I was a 'finger-tip' dilated. You never want a baby to come too early but you want to know progress is being made, so that was reassuring. 

Will gave me a cold from HELL! So not breathing well and then I was on nights so I didn't sleep well either made me quite miserable. He on the other hand took just two days of not feeling the greatest and back to his normal self. Of coarse I'd rather it be me who is sick than my kids but it was rough this week. My Dr. said that if not feeling well by Thursday to call and get on an antibiotic. So I now have some extra help in getting better. I also have some Mucinex D that she said I could take for just a few days. That helps so much more than the original Mucinex. 

I have been so sick this pregnancy. This is the third major cold I've had. Better be the last too! 

Just for kicks, this is the picture in blue of Lillian at 36 weeks and then me at 36 weeks with this one. I have gained far less but about the same size really. I always find it fun to compare pictures. I will be going to my Dr. weekly now until she arrives. I may update after 37 week appointment  but if not, talk to you in a week and a half at 38! 

40 days left!!! (34 weeks)

Yesterday at 34 weeks plus 1 day I had a normal check up. Baby is measuring right on track still. My doctor thinks she is head down, but I'll get checked at my next doctors appointment in two weeks to make sure. I have that I am up 23 pounds, I think she has that I am up 18 but I'm going by what I have. 

Walking is getting harder and harder as if I walk at my normal pace then I feel like I'm going to pee every step and my hour long walks are getting shorter too. It's more like 30-45 minutes now and slow, but I'm still moving and walking at least 5, if not 6 times a week. 

We talked briefly about an induction date and she said we could pencil in the 17th. I may ask her what she thinks about the 10th as I'll only be a week early. I'm going to guess that's a no as the 17th is from the ultrasound but by cycle dating, the 21st would be my due date. Even if she would allow us, I'm not sure we would take her up on it, I just want options. With Dennis still chopping in October some years, the later in the month the better for all the birthdays and everything! 

School is going well with the older two! We got Lillian's Halloween costume and oh my she is in love! We have to wait a little longer on Will's as we got it from Zulily. Love that place but always takes a while to get in. 

When baby arrives, I wanted to give the kids each something they would be able to keep from baby. Lillian is easy, necklace. I knew this so shopping was a breeze but Will?! That took me a while to find something perfect for him! Finally a wallet popped into my mind! So he is getting an engraved wallet. 

That's about all that I know for now! Until next time!
