36 Weeks

At 36 Weeks, you are...

• Head down
• Weighing approximately 7 lbs 6 oz (per doctor's estimation -- he has 30 years experience so I believe him;))
• Keeping a healthy heartbeat
• Still very active
• Still due July 17 (there has been no fluctuation in due date from the beginning)

At 36 Week, I am...

• Keeping a healthy blood pressure
• Keeping my weight where doctor wants it for the final stretch
• 80% effaced, but not yet dilated
• Still hoping for a TOLAC (Trial of Labor After Caesarean) and successful VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) so long as you arrive before July 20 when we have a scheduled c-section if you do not come on your own
• Very excited to meet you even though I am still in denial that you will be joining our family very soon
• Getting excited about the final touches on your room (will post pictures soon)
• Having fun hearing all of the birth stories of friends who I've shared pregnancy with that have had their babies in June
• Having fun looking back on pictures from this pregnancy already...so fun to watch Nora grow!
