Week 36

Well, well, well....I am now officially 36 weeks! The end is near...we are so much closer to meeting our little Ipolito Ismael! It is exciting and scary at the same time. This week I had my last ultrasound and we found out Ipolito is 6 pounds 4 oz! At one point we saw him stick out his tongue and at another he turned and looked right at us. It was amazing...it looks like he has some big cheeks (go figure) and Jose's shaped eyes. I really wonder what he will look like?!! Will he look like Jose? Will he look like me? Will he look like a mix? Will he have my hair, his lips, his eyes, my cheeks, his feet, etc???

I am feeling fine in general. I am very uncomfortable. The baby has dropped and I found out I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I swear sometimes I think he is just going to drop on out. It is hard to get in and out of bed, to get up, to walk fast, and my leg has been getting swollen. Wednesday night I noticed my right lower leg was swollen. I mean it looked fine at one point, then all of a sudden my ankle was HUGE! I have spider veins on that ankle and it started looking like a big bruise. You could put your fingers on my leg and leave definite finger prints. When I got home I showed Jose and by then it was a big ball. I was going to the doctor later on that day so I was not too worried. I ended up having an ultrasound of my leg just to make sure I do not have any clots. Rest assured, I received a clean bill of health.

In other news we finished the nursery! It looks good. I am so happy with it and so is Jose! I will attach some pics. This week I go see the diabetes lady again and I start my weekly visits to the doctor. I cannot believe we have 18 days left! Please say a prayer for a safe uncomplicated delivery, a beautiful, healthy baby boy, my heart, the baby's heart, and for my lovely Jose.

I am currently 36 weeks 4 days!

Week 35!

Well, I am officially 35 weeks pregnant! I am getting so excited and nervous! We did so much this week. We had another baby shower on Saturday with both our families and friends. We received so many beautiful things! The shower was absolutely wonderful and beautiful! Jose and I are so fortunate to have so many loving family members and friends. Hopefully I am going to be able to upload a slide show to the blog this time.

I am getting larger. My belly is starting to point out more and it is so hard to sleep! I am so uncomfortable and I hardly sleep more than 1.5 hours at a time. Earlier this week I was sick again! We finally figured out it was the sugar free gummy bears I had been eating. So needless to say I am no longer eating those.

We have done so much with the baby's room this week. We organized everything and I washed all of the newborn and 0-3 months clothes, blankets, socks, and bibs. The room looks so good! I hopefully will post pics later.

This week I have a sonogram on Tuesday morning and an OB/GYN appointment on Thursday. I get my first internal exam and I am nervous! I have heard mixed things on the internal exams.

Well, this is all for now.

I am 35 weeks, 5 days.
