36 Weeks

Well, here I am. I'm almost at 36 weeks. But since I'm planning on, and visualizing myself going into labor on May 21 (instead of my due date the 23), I'm 36 weeks today! I've gone into labor with all my babies on a Friday and I'm sticking with tradition.

At my week 34 check up my doc said "ok, we're going to start seeing you every week now." I thought it was weird but I said ok, it's not usually till 36 they see you everyweek. So when I went in at week 35 the other doc I saw said "I don't know why he wants to see you every week now." Great. This is what's lame about OB's here in Colorado. I have to rotate among all 4 docs in the practice and I don't know who's going to deliver me. It makes it really hard because I loved my doc in Mesa so much and trusted him and with this office I barely know them.

So she's super active which is great! And everything's looking healthy pregnancy wise. My iron is even up now cause I started taking an iron pill (which has also helped the whole "chewing on a rubberband" issue and just in case you think this is completely wacko just google it). On the otherhand I'm freakin' uncomfortable! Look how far I am sticking out and I still have 4 more weeks. My restless leg has calmed down a bit cause Chris rubs my leg every night and it really helps. I also rub lavender oil everywhere and that seems to calm it down too. Last night Chris told me I'm a grandma cause I moan with every move I make. It takes all my strength to roll over and when my hip is out, like it was last night, every move is painful.

The kids are loving thinking of names for the baby and we add them to the list to be nice. Cecily and Jocelyn are rooting for Scarlett, Chris is rooting for Fiona, and I have no idea. Hopefully it will hit me when she's born and I'll know who she is. But don't be surprised if it takes us a day to narrow it down.
