37 Week Doctor Visit

This past Monday I had a Dr. appointment. Dr. M. said there has been no change in my progress and everything looks good. I asked him if he would stop the labor if it happened now, since I am considered "full term". Dr. M, replied with "No". So I am off bed rest! Hallelujah! I can't really go too far or do anything really exciting, but I was able to go to the salon and pool!

Hiccups

Baby has the hiccups...once a day now. It shows his lungs are developed enough to have them!

36 weeks 5 days

Bed Rest

I went into the hospital last week with extreme pelvic/abdominal pain, pressure and cramping. Turns out I was dilating and having contractions.The baby is supposedly big and his big head is pushing down on my organs/cervix. As a result I am on bed rest for the next couple of weeks and I go to the doctor bi-weekly from now on.
It is a week later and I am feeling better, the pressure has subsided!

Birthday Bed Rest

Today was my birthday! I celebrated a bit with cuddles with big brother Little Willy Peno.

So sweet
