I feel huge! I am unbelievably sore and my pelvis feels like it’s about to fall off or split in two. The searing pains in my stomach are still coming and going and now I have pelvic pain, heartburn, and backache to accompany it. The baby has dropped and is very, very low. At my 35 week appointment I was 2 cm dilated. On Tuesday I go back to the doctors for my next check up. I am hoping that I am more dilated and progress is being made. I have been having false labor contractions for well over a month now so I hope the pain hasn’t been complete waste. My 38 week appointment will be December 27th and my doctor has agreed to “strip my membranes” to try to help things along a little bit. Here’s hoping this baby comes out early! I would love extra time off from daycare and the tax break!

Week 36 Sonogram
Autumn was excited to go to the sonogram with us and see the pictures of her baby brother. She actually thought they were taking the baby out so they could get a picture! The sonogram went well and we got a weight estimate of 5 pounds 2 ounces. The baby that was once 2 weeks large is now 2 weeks small. The sonogram technician printed out a duplicate picture for autumn to have for herself. That made autumn very happy. She carried is around a bunch at first and showed it to everyone.
Oh Autumn…
Her new sayings:
“you said it sister”
“What’s the big idea?”
“Do I look happy?” –while pointing to her face!
Her new “princess” bed came in the other day. It’s all set up in her room but the right mattress we ordered hasn’t come in yet so a temp from the furniture store is sitting on her bed with plastic wrap on it. Autumn declared that the delivery people forgot her pillows and blankets and that she cannot sleep on the big bed until she has them. She also has stated that the bed is for when she gets “really bigger” and that right now she likes sleeping in bed with rails (her crib).
