I'll be 35 weeks on Thursday and am almost 1 cm dilated today!

My doctor appointment went well today. Dr. Firpo has asked that I continue taking my medicine twice a day for at least 10 more days (I'll be 36 weeks in 10 days). I guess once I hit 36 weeks; they will let nature take its course. My blood pressure is good and Reese's heartbeat is in the 150's. I only gained 1 pound since last week, but I had gained 6 pounds then. I think my total gain is near 27 pounds.

I am almost dilated to 1 cm. This didn't seem to concern my doctor, but makes me think I need to rest more and get the house ready just in case Reese comes sooner than February 14th! We'll know more after my ultrasound next week. That will tell us how big she is and how well her lungs and kidneys are developed. Hopefully we'll get some more pictures too.

Dr. Firpo says Reese has not dropped yet. The pressure I'm feeling (noted in my last post) is just a part of the process. Reese is still moving a lot which is great! I'd better enjoy it while it lasts; before we know it she'll be out of my belly and in our arms. Her Daddy cannot wait to hold her! He says this everyday!

Here's how I'm looking these days...Matt thinks I am getting big (in a good way). He's right!

As compared to 19 weeks back in September! And I thought I had a belly then. Hey the shirt still fits!
