35 Weeks... Who Would Have Ever Thought!

Well I have made it to 35 weeks! I can not believe it!!! All the exciting things about having a baby are becoming so realistic for Drew and I. For ex.) seeing and holding the baby right after she if born, breast feeding right away and best of all taking the baby home right away! We could not be happier!

As for me... everything I am experiencing now is new, which is crazy considering it is my second. I am getting pretty big (well I think so), pretty uncomfortable at night and really tired. Also, my muscles in my legs are really bothering me cause they are completely gone after 12 weeks of bedrest. This week the Dr. wants me to be walking around the block everyday and going full force to get my strength back. It is nice but I do feel like the baby is going to fall out and my contractions pick up when I am up and moving around. It is however AMAZING to take care of Ava again.. It was sooo hard to not be able to hold her, feed her, play with her etc.
35 Week Check-Up
So I had my 35 week check-up on Monday and all is good.... My stress test was fine.. some minor contractions showed up but nothing major. I am still 3 cm. 50% effaced and the baby is still at the 0 station. I did have my last progesterone injection:):) Yay! I sure wont miss those! Small price to pay to keep the baby in!.. but they really don't know if that is what did it. So below is my current belly shot...I am getting there!

Below is right when I had Ava..big difference!
