35 weeks - 5 more to go!

We have hit the 35 week mark people!  If baby comes at any time now then he/she would stay in the hospital here instead of being shipped to Peoria.  Any babies born 34 weeks or before typically go to Peoria to be monitored, so I am glad we have passed that time with this baby!  Of course if anything happened to be not quite right and the doctor thought it was warranted then baby would have to go to Peoria to the NICU there.  So the last pictures I posted was me at 28 and a half weeks.  I have a few more to share! 

30 weeks

34 and a half weeks

This last one was taken at night since I had worked the night before and slept all day.  It is getting darker sooner around here.  

I have been feeling fairly well, and can't really complain.  This baby is head down with its butt/feet jammed up in my right ribs which is quite painful at times!  Baby moves a lot and I have to pee all the time and don't sleep more than a couple hours at a time because of that :)  I am still working 12 hour shifts overnight.  Doctor said all I have to do is let her know if they get to be too difficult and she will say that I can only do 6 or 8 hour shifts at a time.  I had my 35 week appointment this afternoon.  Doctor said that everything looked good and baby is growing appropriately - but is measuring a little small.  My belly was measuring at 33 weeks and baby felt a little small.  I seem to have not really gained much weight either.  The doctor wasn't too concerned and told me not to worry, but scheduled a growth scan for next week just to check everything out.  Kind of a change from baby measuring in the 88th percentile at the 19 week ultrasound.  I know I really haven't felt like eating much most of this pregnancy.  Food has never sounded good and I kind of have to gear myself up to eat.  Either I feel nauseous or really full - there doesn't seem to be an in between.  My doctor said at this point I just need to focus on getting any kind of calorie.  If a milkshake sounds good, then go ahead and eat the milkshake. 

So now we just focus on getting this baby to grow a little more and be nice and healthy!  We've got the car seat, bases and stroller.  The changing table and dresser are upstairs and I have the clothes that I have so far all washed and put away.  Next Monday the nurses at work are having a baby shower for me so we will be getting more things then.  After that I can figure out what is left that we need to get on our registry.  

Well time to get ready for our 2nd childbirth class!  We have a fun teacher and the class last time was pretty fun.  Until next time!
