Baby Update-36 weeks

Well, I had my OB appt. yesterday. Baby sounded good, measured good, blood pressure good, head's down & 3 cm dilated! I am freaking out a little about this! I usually go pretty quick once I hit 4 cm, but we'll see. I go back in on Monday & if I'm 4cm & contracting.....that could be the day! That's what happened with Matt & Emily. Who knows. I'm SO excited to meet this little girl. I want everything to be healthy & developed enough though so we don't run into problems. So, hopefully, she'll come when she's all ready.

I've had some really weird dreams lately.......

One was that I opened my tummy like an oven, took the baby out & said " you're not done yet, you gotta go back in" & put the baby back in the oven........I mean my tummy!

Another one was where I unbuttoned my belly button, opened my tummy like a 'flap' & took the baby out. So weird!

Another one was that Craig could feel the baby's hand through my tummy & she could grab his finger through my skin. Like some Scifi movie!

Man, I wake up SO relieved that they were just dreams!! So strange.

My feet & hands are so swollen. I've never had this before, but I've never been pregnant in the summer before either. It is so weird to not be able to see the bones in my feet & hands! My toes look like little sausages! I told Craig to just call me 'Fiona'. I feel like I have Ogre feet! LOL I tried on some size 9 shoes the other day.....couldn't even get them on! I might have to have my wedding ring cut off too if this baby doesn't come within the next week or so. It's starting to hurt pretty bad at times!

My friend Chantelle took me out to dinner last week to PF Changs & then we went & got pedicures! It was so nice of her to do that for me! I felt SO pampered. I'm sure the lady doing my feet was like " Wow, these feet are huge!" It was such a relaxing night & I had a great time with a wonderful friend! Thanks Chantelle!

When I was pregnant with Trey I went froma size 8 to a size 10 that I couldn't buckle by the end. The one thing that I loved was after I was done I was in pre-pregnancy clothes right away. Most of it was water weight. My feet even looked normal again. You'll bounce back quick.
Do you have C-sections? That would explain your dreams.

Congratulations on your sweet baby girl, Lisa! I read about it on Amy's blog. Glad she has one now. :) Glad Amy's package got to you just in time. She worried about that a lot. :)
