35 Weeks

Here we are at 35 weeks..just glowing, right! ha!

The baby has definitely dropped, as you can see, and as I can feel. Completely 100% UNCOMFORTABLE. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable some of these women with humungo bellies are, if I am this uncomfortable with a small belly. I feel great in the morning, but by night time..I just want to go to sleep and not wake up for the next 5 weeks. I have a feeling baby will be here in the next couple, and even though I am uncomfortable, I would rather he/she stay in and bake for another 5 weeks. The longer..the plumper...the better sleeper...the happier mommy and daddy.... is the way I look at it. We'll see, it is out of my control! Maybe it will share a birthday with my Mom and Grandpa Guinane - April 21st! We'll see. We have one more 2 week appointment next week, and then are on to the 1 week appointments..dun, dun, dun. This week the baby's heart rate was at it's normal..between 140-150, and everything else looked great. I gained another 2lbs, and am up to 26lbs gained. Right on target!

We also started our childbirth classes this week. They are Tuesdays and Thursdays for two weeks. A little bit traumatizing, to say the least. At least Luke and I have a good sense of humor about everything, otherwise we would probably be leaving in tears :) Last week we watched live births and labors, and the men looked more traumatized than the women. News flash...they just have to stand there and count to 10! ha! Luke thinks that I should start an epidural now....a month ahead! haha! 

Anywho, we have a busy week this week, and it is really starting to set in that we are no longer going to be a team of two (kind of bitter sweet). We'll make the most of the next +-5 weeks, as our lives are about to change f-o-r-e-v-e-r.
