I didn't realize how many people follow my blog until several people told me I needed to update it.

35 Weeks- So I had a Dr. appt on Tuesday. They said everything is measuring normal (Have they looked at my belly?! Looks huge to me!) Anyway, the baby's heartrate is still measuring in the 150's. They don't anticipate me having the baby early, but said if I do go into labor they would not try to stop me. It's a relief to know that you've made it to the point where the baby would be alright & wouldn't need any additional assitance.

Complaints so far- this heat is ridiculous! I was always the type to carry a sweater around with me because I was always cold. Not anymore. The air conditioning has been on for several days now, and a few times prior to that. My back has also started to bother me almost non-stop. Sleeping has gotten much better now that I sleep with 3 pillows instead of 2. I think the boys (James & the dog) are getting sick of me taking up 2/3 of the bed. The dog has been sleeping on the floor for some time now (The sneaky thing would get on in the middle of the night while we were asleep. It's difficult to scold the dog for doing something when you don't know it's happening.).

Funny things- I decided to try sleeping in the water bed recently. The dog didn't know what to do with the two of us being in different rooms. Because of this he got very anxious and did several bad things in the middle of the night. He has been very curious of the baby's room and loves to sniff everything. The stuffed animals in particular are a very great temptation for him. He ended up pulling out one of the stuffed animals and giving it a bath (the thing is completely slobber filled & needs to be thrown out now- thank goodness it was a hand-me-down & not a gift). He also took several diapers out and completely destroyed them.

Wonderful- James has been a complete sweetheart. He has taken an interest in the garden this year and even helped me plant it. I've also been able to get a shoulder rub most nights as well. The foot massages were wonderful in the beginning of my pregnancy, but the last time he gave me one I started having contractions. He and I discussed this "contraindication for pregnant women" prior to getting the foot massage, but I knew it would feel wonderful so I convinced him to give it to me anyway. Maybe in a few weeks I'll have him give me another one- it'll may help start this process along.

The feedback I've been getting from the blog is pretty positive. We'll be sure to update the blog once the baby's here so be sure to check back.
