35 weeks... where'd the time go???


This is at 33 weeks... I'm now 35! I had an appointment on Friday. I'm showing signs of pre-eclampsia, which is pretty much high blood pressure during pregnancy. (I was actually showing early signs of this at 20 weeks.) The effects are a calcifying placenta (starts to harden and baby can't receive adequate blood or nutrients) and, more rarely and severely, seizures. So, my midwife said she does not want to let me go past 39 weeks... which means we only have 4 weeks left!!! Oh my goodness. I'm really just getting used to the idea of being pregnant and now he's going to be here before we know it!! I can't wait, but it seems UNREAL!

We also had an ultrasound to make sure Babe is in the right position, head down. Sure enough, he is cooperating! We saw his little face straight on and guess who he looks like??? Parker! Little chubby cheeks and deep set eyes... ADORABLE. Can't wait to kiss him all over and dress him up in his teeny weeny clothes.

Besides the abnormally large feet, toes, and ankles, I'm still feeling really good. We're staying cool in our house thanks to our window air conditioner. It reached 100 today by 3:00. Supposed to be about the same for the next 2 days. Yahoo for AC!

Craig is always freezing cause I have the AC cranked up...but I get SO HOT! You look so good Carly!) I am sure you are awkward and uncomfortable just like me though. I cried the other day cause I couldn't bend over and get my shoes on and had to have Craig help me :) Can't wait to see your little boy!
