35 Weeks Pregnant
We are now in our 35th week of pregnancy. Boy oh boy am I feeling it! I never thought walking around the mall would be a difficult task. I also never knew that someone could go potty so many times in just a couple of hours. The joys of pregnancy. We went to the DOC on Monday (12/27/05) for a regular check up. The baby's heartrate was 135....which is good. He measured my belly and it measured in 1 week ahead of time. To check the baby's size, growth rate, and position, your practitioner will measure your belly on the outside from your pubic bone to the top of the uterus (this distance is called the fundal height). The tape measurement (in centimeters) should equal the number of weeks you're pregnant, within 2 centimeters. So, this week it should of measured 35 centimeters b/c it is my 35th week of pregnancy. I measured 36 centimeters. Maybe we will have the baby a week or so early. We also found out some GREAT news for me. At our last visit the DOC said that we were going to have one big baby (8-10lbs). I was scared to death after he told me that. I kept thinking "there is no way I can push a 10lb baby out!" Well, at this visit he said that the baby had dropped and lodged into position. He said that he does not think we will be having a HUGE baby. He estimates around 7.5 lbs. Hey, I can do that! I don't really think I have a choice in the matter but, 7.5 lbs sure does sound a lot more doable, if you know what I mean! Anyways, everything is looking good as far a baby is concerned. Paul and I are getting very anxious to meet our little princess. Only a couple more weeks. I will post more PREGO pics of me once Paul takes them. I am not into pictures of myself these days. But, I know my out of town relatives want to see them. We will get some more up soon. We are now going to the DOC weekly so, I will post weekly updates until the little one arrives. Take care and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
