36 weeks & 3 days

We had another successful prenatal appointment. I'm measuring at 37 weeks. Baby Child is head down, but still pretty high. The heartbeat was strong and I'm dilated to 1.5 cm. While I'm excited about that, I also know that it doesn't mean the baby is coming this week. I could sit at 1.5 for another week or two before anything happens. I have been having contractions daily for the past few weeks, but nothing regular. Maybe my November 8th prediction will come true though :)

Over the last 2 weeks I have had moments where I'll go from not wanting anything to eat, to not being able get food in my mouth quick enough! This baby is definitely putting on the pounds right now. I'm up another 4 lbs. from my last appointment, for a grand total of 28lbs! I'm still feeling good, no major complaints. Most of the movement I feel is around the center of my belly & the right side. Thankfully I rarely get kicked in the ribs this time around!

Sydney is getting excited to meet her brother or sister. She's not typically a cuddly little girl, but over the past few days she has been laying on the couch with me rubbing my belly and talking to the baby. I think she's going to make a fantastic big sister!
