32 wks, 36 wks

Yep it's a true blessing from God! I have made it to 36 weeks. I think I saw that every week but it's true. I was not suppose to make it this far...according to doctors. Dr DeStefano and Dr Meritt were both very happy to see me this morning...still pregnant.

I feel fine except for tiredness. I am also having contractions a good bit but they aren't usually painful. I am not sleeping well at night at all. I wake up about 6-10 times a night to go to the bathroom...sometimes I wake up twice within the same hour. I have also been having more contractions at nighttime which wake me. Sometimes I can't go back to sleep so I lay there for a while. This same thing happened with Luc. I felt more rested after I had Luc than during the last month of pregnancy.

Dr DeStefano said he looks great on ultrasound. The placenta still looks great. There is good blood flow in the umbilical cord. This sweet little baby weighs about 6 lb 13 oz. It is becoming more difficult to see him on the 3&4D u/s because he is getting plump and squished. Here he is sticking his tongue out.

So May 17th is a go unless I have him before then. I am about 2 cm dilated, my cervix is thinned, and he has dropped. Dr Meritt thinks I may go into labor on my own before the 17th. Even if I don't, I am so excited to have a date to see and hold this baby. We are so ready for him to be here.
