36 weeks

I went to the doctor today, and things are looking good. Her heartbeat was at 143. Saylor is still head down and has dropped a good bit. Her dropping has helped me breathe a bit easier and has helped the heart burn as well.  Thank goodness.. I was about to buy Tums in bulk. I haven't dilated any yet, and will be going back next week to be checked again. I tested positive for the Group B test (didn't know what that was until today), so I will be getting penicillin in an IV when I am admitted to the hospital. I can't believe it is so close and I am now seeing the doctor on a weekly basis. Time is really flying by. Can't wait to meet the little girl!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 36 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: So much for that losing 4 lbs 2 weeks ago, this time I had gained 5, putting me at a total gain of 21 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: blech. I wear the same 3 outfits constantly.

Best Moment this week: Getting the nursery close to being done!

Gender: It's a girl - Saylor Alden Branch

Movement: feeling her move all the time... seeing my belly pop up in places when she pokes her arm or foot!

Food Craving: comfort food!

What I miss: fitting into my regular clothes and sleeping all night

Sleep: Good nights and bad nights

What I am looking forward to: Meeting Saylor in a few weeks!

Belly Button: In

Stretch Marks: None yet. Yikes.

Symptoms: Nausea is back full steam. I am currently fighting a cold and a fever, which isn't so fun when you're this pregnant.
