35week and 3 day check-up

I went in on Monday for my Strepp B test and decided that I wanted to get checked too. Well, that wasn't very comfortable. :/ I got to test my labor breathing! I am 80% effaced and not dilated. I go in again on Monday for another check-up so we'll see if I've progressed at all.

Here is the pic from last weekend, 35 weeks. I went ahead and measured my belly - it's 40.5 inches! Holy cow!

It is getting REALLY hard to sleep at night. I'm waking up about 3-4 times to use the bathroom and the weight of my belly feels like it is suffocating me sometimes. Yikes.

Last weekend we had our all day birthing class at the hospital. The hospital is really nice and the staff seems amazing. I've decided I will try and go "natural" as long as I can. It makes so much more sense for your body and really makes recovery much better. If I can make it to a 7 without an epidural I'll be happy. If I think I can do it all, I will. I seriously NEVER thought I would ever say that. The health benefits are just so extensive that it is worth trying. Darian got to have a little taste of what this weight feels like....here he is with his prego belly (only 28lbs.) and big boobs! Sorry it's blurry. I was laughing so hard. He did NOT want me to take this pic!

We are looking forward to a weekend of getting the office set up and finally finishing the nursery!! YaY!
