Baby Update!

So I figure since I am going to the doctor weekly now I had to be better about getting my updates posted! :) Today I am 36 weeks!! My doctors appointment went really well except for the fact that I gained 3 pounds in ONE WEEK!! I about cried right there on the scale! I had been doing so well and then here at the end, when your weight gain should be slowing down, mine is picking up speed. Needless to say that was not what I wanted to hear, but oh well, I guess I can only hope next week will be better! I will just continue my walking and pray no one brings me anymore cakes...no more birthday cakes or baby shower cakes for me!! I am also getting heartburn almost nightly now and I am starting to get really, really, REALLY tired all the time. Today when I was getting my pedicure I almost fell asleep! I had almost forgot how exhausting the last few weeks can be, but for the most part I am still feeling really good! I must admit though, I am looking forward to becoming my smaller self again! :)

Ok...here is the part that may be TMI...so consider yourself warned!! The most exciting thing about my appointment today is that I am already 1 cm dilated! That means I only have 9 more to go!! However, don't go getting too excited and start thinking that I will go early. With both of my other pregnancies I started dilating about a month before and Avery was born on her due date and Oaks was a day late. But hey, the less I have to go once I get to the hospital is WONDERFUL! "Little bit" is also head down and ready go when the time comes!

As far as being tired, it probably hasn't helped that I have had a very sick little boy this past week as well. He has an ear infection, a stomach virus, and the start of pneumonia. Luckily we caught the pneumonia early so hopefully with a strong does of antibiotics it will clear right up. So for all my praying friends out there, if you wouldn't mind lifting little Oakley up in your prayers it would be greatly appreciated. He has been so pitiful this past week. Thankfully, the worst of the stomach bug seems to be over with and he has not had a fever in two days. Hopefully, he will be back to his old self soon!

Here I am in all my glory at 36 weeks!
