The happenings at 36 weeks...

Hi Everyone,

Well I think I would consider us in the home stretch now, we're officially 36 weeks along and only 28 days from his due date!

I had a Dr's appointment this afternon (who in there right mind would schedule a 4:30 appointment???). We didn't learn anything new... I gained 2 pounds and am measuring 34 weeks instead of 36 but my Dr. said not to worry about that. It was a good appointment and we have an ultrasound scheduled for bright and early Monday morning. Hopefully it will be the last one. :)

In the last week I feel like my body has truly been taken over by another being. Dax seems to think that he doesn't have any more room (and I tend to agree with him) and is using all of his might to stretch out his little hot tub. Pretty sure he would like to have my ribs removed until he vacates- last night I had to put my arms over my head and stretch out as far as possible just to get him to stop pushing on them. I really do still LOVE feeling him move around but it is getting much more painful. Last night he had the hiccups for quite awhile and they actual hurt. I made Dustin put his hand on my belly because you could REALLY feel them from the outside.

Speaking of my wonderful man, he has been giving my belly a lot more attention lately. He thinks it's hilarious to wake Mr. Dax up, especially when I am all settled into bed. It really doesn't bug me because I love that Dustin wants to feel the baby move and knows exactly what to do to get him to move around. I am SO excited to get to watch Dustin with him once he arrives.

Rhea's daughter, Keona, came to visit me on Wednesday. The following is the conversation we had as she was rubbing my belly:

Keona: Is the baby still in your belly?
Me: Yes he is
Keona: I can't see him yet?
Me: Nope not yet
Keona: but I want to see him
Me: (grabbing the ultrasound picture off my wall) well this is actually a picture of him in my belly
Keona: oh, okay. He is very cute

I just love 3 year olds!

Okay that's all from me this week! Hope you are all doing WONDERFULLLY! I can't wait til I get to post a Welcome Baby Dax announcement!!!
