36 Weeks



I can't believe it! Pregnancy always seems to drag for me but now its flying. Its hard to believe I had Micah at 38 weeks...and that is in only two weeks!! I think one reason it feels like it is going so fast now is because of all the things I think I need to do...I have been working on a bassinet which has turned into a HUGE project and I'm afraid I won't finish. Nesting has definitely hit me hard this time around!
Two days ago (Nov. 30) I had a growth ultrasound. Baby measured 5 lb 7 oz (who really knows though) and everything looks great. The tech said he has chubby cheeks! It would be cool to have a chubby baby since Micah was always so skinny. Side note... Micah stepped on the scale...he weighs 27lbs with shoes and a coat on. I have gained 19 lbs so far in this pregnancy. (I gained 20 with Micah)
My doctor will let me try labor if I go into labor before my c-section date. I think I would like to try...actually I really really want to try to have a normal labor but I do get scared about the risk of rupture. I have a feeling that I won't get the opportunity...I don't see myself going into labor before 40 weeks, but we'll see. (I base that on my mom being pretty late for all three of her kids)
I have been feeling very energetic lately although I really want to take advantage of my sleep while I can these last few weeks. I haven't had any swelling. I generally hate pregnancy but this last week has been good...maybe because I'm nearing the end.
Oh, and I predict a dark eyed, olive skinned baby boy...
