35 week checkup

Well, I didn't get a chance to post on Thursday after our ultra-sound...but...

everything looked great with Kalia...she's just a BIG BABY!!!  She's actually slowed down growing some...she weighed in at 5 lbs 12 ounces.  I'm only measuring 1 week large instead of two.  I keep asking him if that means I'll go earlier and he said nope, it just means she's a big baby.  Grrrr...I'm ready for Kalia to get here!!  The great news is that Kalia has flipped so she's no longer breach!!!  WOO HOO!!!  She just flipped on Thursday, and I can sort of breathe again.  It's amazing how much I took that for granted!

We had an amazing baby shower this past weekend in Melbourne.  The three of us are so lucky and fortunate and blessed to have so many people that love us and already love Kalia so much!  When my professional photographer (aka Uncle Jason) uploads some pictures...errr...his assistant uploads pictures (aka Aunt Jennifer!), I'll post them!  I could write pages upon pages about how thankful I am for everything this past weekend, but since this will be a long post already, I'll hold off.  But I am so thankful!!!!!!!!!!

We had our 35 week checkup yesterday.  They hooked me up to the monitors, and we listened to Kalia's heartbeat for awhile.  Everything is still looking good!

We get to wait an entire week before seeing the doctor again.  I really hope I'm not jinxing myself by writing that.

I'm getting bigger by the minute these days it seems.  Since she's flipped, I'm also having the first trimester pee urges every hour or so.  My feet started swelling yesterday, and I took off my wedding ring until after my delivery.  No need to risk some weird complication with that one!

Also since she's flipped, I'm feeling her move a lot more.  I think it's because she has more room to kick around.  She definitely had to be cramped being sideways!!  Too bad her flipping didn't make me look any longer or leaner!

I feel...excited, am filled with anticipation, and I really am ready for her to get here.  I could care less what else I don't have done...it'll all work out.  I just can't wait to see her already!!  I don't like the feeling of not being able to do as much, but I'm already well there.  I get tired way more easily, and just get to the point where I'm done and need to rest NOW.  I think that means she's coming soon!!  Haha, just let me keep believing that, okay?!  It's my happy place!!!
