35 Weeks

I had my 35th week doctor appointment yesterday. Everything is looking good. I am already dilated to 1cm which makes me happy because now I'm only 3cm away from my epidural. :-) My doctor said that the baby (though already in position,) is still high enough that it looks like I should make it to at least 37 weeks. I'm hoping for even a little more time than that to finish getting everything ready. I have another appointment next week to check the progress.

We had our final ultrasound this morning and Gregg and the boys got to come along. Gregg went with me to every appointment and ultrasound when I was pregnant with the boys, but this time around it just wasn't feasible. I was really glad he got to go with me today. She is weighing almost 5 lbs. She is head down and sitting low in my stomach. We got to see her sucking on her fist. It was so cute. We told Carter that we were going to see the baby on the t.v. screen and he was excited but very confused about how we could see her without taking her out. Then of course it doesn't look like a traditional baby on t.v. and he kept making faces at her. Kyle pointed and said "baby" but it could have just been in response to what we were saying. Carter seems to understand pretty well whats going on. He only refers to her now as "my baby sister" and told me that when she's big enough and ready to come out he will put her in her bed to make her happy. Now we are just trying to get everything ready for her and hoping that she'll want to stay in there for a few more weeks. :-)
