36 weeks...and how am I doing today? As Eli would say "I'm AWESOME!!" Really, I am doing so well and have few complaints. My energy level is overall good but I do get tired more easily. I have noticed 2 things over the weekend, though. For one, I started to have occasional shooting nerve pain in my inner left thigh...exactly like I did as I neared delivery with Eli. Second, I felt some off & on yesterday like I was "leaking" (TMI for some :) and I remember feeling this with Eli & wondering if I was leaking amniotic fluid, which of course I was not. I talked about this at 37 weeks for Eli...so maybe she'll come right at 40 weeks since it's starting a week earlier??? Of course, there's no way to know! But, too funny that I am experiencing the same things as I did with Eli this time around! Love the blog to allow me to look back at Eli's pregnancy and re-read each week. Here is what I wrote about 36 weeks with Eli.
I start my weekly appointments with my midwife this week and I will see her on Thursday. I will get my Strep B test and may be checked...if I want. My only reason to want to (because it hurts!!) is to see if she is making her way into my pelvis. Last week she was still angled somewhat, but so was Eli, so she'll probably make her way just fine!
My to-do list is slowly getting items checked off, and sometimes I feel an urgent need to get it all done (nesting anyone??) and other times I think "we have a month!". We'll be fine, though, either way...right??
Fun 36 week fact: Most of the bones (soft skull aside) in their little body are now completely hardened, providing a solid structure from which they can now make their grand debut into the world. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are structurally ready for a secure launch. (babygaga).
Here's my belly pic:
And a pic of Eli & I before I went to my group baby shower. I had my hair cut & colored this weekend so I decided to actually fix it and look nice for the shower!:

I'll post about my appointment on Thursday and later about Eli and his trip to the fire department! This week should hold a lot of outside time as the temps are supposed to be great!!
