36 Weeks!



Belly is getting bigger!

The past week we have been a little busy doing baby stuff.  On Saturday we went to our childbirth class.  The class was very informative and I am glad that we went.  Jason learned quite a bit as well and at the end of the day he said that he appreciates moms a lot more now.  So we will see how he does with the whole process when its my turn.  We also got to tour the Labor and Delivery rooms and they are pretty big and each one has its own whirlpool for relaxation if I want to use it.  We weren't able to view the postpartum rooms, because they were all full, but I am sure they are just as nice.  Sunday Jason and I got the babies bed adjusted, monitor installed, and mattress protectors on.  Yesterday all got the majority of Cameron's bedding all washed and put back on.
Today I had my ultrasound and doctors appointment.  Cameron was very active during the ultrasound and did everything he was supposed to do right away and scored a perfect 8 out of 8 on his test again.  His heart rate was 154 bpm.  We got some really good shots of him today.  He had his arms and hands up around his face today, so the ultrasound tech buzzed him a couple of times and we got to see a mix of emotions from him where he stuck his body lip out and looked like he was about to cry and then the next time he smiled.  We also got to see him open up an eye lid.  It was pretty cool and I am just excited for him to get here.  That's really all I think about and when I am not too tired I just like to go into his room and piddle around.  I started washing a lot of his clothes today as well, and the next load will probably be blankets.

When I saw the doctor today she did a culture for Strep B, so I guess I will get the results of that test next week.  I guess if I have that they just give me antibiotics when I am in labor.  She also checked to see if I was dialated any and she said my cervix is closed and thick, so no progress yet down there.  We will see next week.  My body is definately starting to change.  Monday morning I could barely walk my back and right hip hurt so bad from sleeping, I didn't feel much better until the afternoon.  I asked the doctor and she said I could take Tylenol for the pain, so I will definately be taking some if I feel like that again.  I also have been lactating a little bit only if my boobs get squished.  So I guess that is a good sign that I will have milk when Cameron decided to arrive.  I get more and more uncomfortable and definately find it more difficult to tye my shoes and bend over to pick something off the floor.  I am usually worn out by then end of the day and usually take a little nap when I get home from work.  I am also not liking this 90 plus degree weather right now and prefer to stay inside most of the time.  That's all the updates I have about myself.  I get another ultrasound and get checked by the doctor next Tuesday.  I hope you all enjoy the pictures.
