Week 36

Getting close. Had a doctor's appointment this morning. She was pointing all the body parts out to Nick and I had a contraction. I couldn't even tell. The doctor asked me if I could feel it and I said no. Nick got to feel it. She also gave Nick the option of "catching" the baby when it is born. We haven't really gotten a chance to talk about it so I don't know if that is something that he wants to do. I will now be making weekly visits to the doctor's office. She said at this point we are good to go. The baby is head down and is waiting at the cervix. The baby is a good size and is pretty much fully developed.

I think I have been having braxton-hicks all day. It is hard for me to tell since I can't feel them and because I haven't gained a lot of weight the baby itself makes my stomach pretty hard all the time. I have been trying to push the fluids since dehydration increases braxton-hicks. I am pretty tired and it is getting harder for me to do a lot of physical activity. Up until a couple weeks ago I would wake up between 8 and 9 and be ready to get up. Now if I have the chance to sleep in I have to force myself to wake up at 11. I did get to try Michael's new WiiFit and was surprised that I was able to do as many things on it as I did. I even beat Nick and Michael at some training activities. I of course had to rub it in that a pregnant lady was doing better than them at physical challanges.

Well, everyone keep your fingers crossed for us. The baby will be here soon.
