36 Weeks

36 weeks along. 4 to go!

Bradley should be about 19 inches long and weigh 6 pounds now. Just one more week, and he will be full-term. Yay!

Had my latest checkup with the Dr. this morning. Now is the time you want to stop reading the blog if you don't like hearing words like "dilated" and whatnot. :-)

I've had some minor cramping in the past week, which is normal. Means my body is gearing up to have this lil' guy! I haven't gained any weight in the past week. I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. My blood pressure is excellent. Glucose is excellent. Bradley has turned and is head down. Apparently his hand is up by his head right now, so when the Dr. was checking me (which was not the most comfortable experience in the world, but I guess I have to get used to that from now on), he reached out and poked her. :-) She said it's going to be 80 this weekend, and all her pregnant women blow up like balloons when the temperature starts going up, so that's something to look forward to. ;-) I haven't dropped yet or had any practice contractions that I can tell.

Here is my latest picture!
