We’ve hit 36 weeks!! ππ
Ύπ!! π―βΊοΈ
(I’m 2 days late posting this)
Where has the time gone?! I feel like this 3rd trimester is just whizzing by so fast!
In 3 weeks today if our baby girl hasn’t made her appearance early we have our induction date set for November 7th at 0730am! πΌπππππ! π
Mike & I are soo excited and also nervous! But we cannot wait to meet our daughter!
I had an ultrasound Wednesday & baby girl looked good. They said she was approximately 7.6lbs already! π― She was only 6lbs last Friday! I am not sure this is possible haha.
They also said she is no longer practicing breathing but has become a pro at breathing & is ready for breathing on the outside! She’s got a good pair of lungs on her! βΊοΈ They also stated she’s in the perfect position for birth with her head down and facing internally with her spine straight!
She is still measuring a week or so ahead so we may meet her sooner than later if we’re lucky, although I hope she stays put until 38 weeks just to be safe! Even though I know shes healthy and ready to meet her Mom & Dad π€°π»π
I’ve been having some Braxton Hicks contractions & pressure in my pelvis as baby has dropped low. Still dealing with very swollen hands & feet which has lead to carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists! It’s really my biggest complaint at the moment. On the plus side- no sign of heartburn as of yet so I’m fairly confident I dodged that uncomfortable bullet π. Also my placenta previa has cleared enough for vaginal delivery so this is great news!! ππ»
Baby is kicking and moving so much these days and I can feel her stretching out. She’s pretty cramped in there I think!
Being monitored twice weekly now with NST’s (non-stress tests) & ultrasounds as babe has the umbilical cord encircling her neck so they are taking every precaution to ensure she is not in any distress (which so far she has been fine & healthy) ππ»π.
We had our maternity photo shoot about a week & a half ago and got some truly beautiful shots to remember this pregnancy by & celebrate it π€°π»π.

Nursery is almost complete & car seat being installed this weekend in my SUV! π It’s all feeling very real now. Guess it’s time for me to pack my hospital bag- just in case! Babe’s diaper bag is packed and ready to go though! ππΆπ»
My sister & my best friend also threw me an amazing baby shower last month & Mike’s friends threw him a suprise diaper party. We both feel so blessed & grateful for the amazing people in our lives π.
Thank you everyone for continuing to share in our journey to our baby girl. I think my next post most likely will be about her delivery! Omg! I can’t believe it!! π₯° Can’t wait for you all to meet her!

Youβre so lucky to not have experienced heartburn! I never did either but Iβve heard it might just be one of the worst symptoms you could ever have!!
Such exciting times for you π
