Well, I am 35 weeks and 2 days today. I had an appointment with my midwife today and thought I’d start sharing weekly updates, since I’ll be going to the doctor’s once a week now.
I have made it further this pregnancy than I did with Lexi, by almost a week! Before the update here’s a picture- a really bad picture because I took it myself and the flash was not cooperating, maybe tonight I’ll have hubs take a better one.
There we are!
Now on to what the midwife said. I’m measuring at 38 weeks, she said I was still in the “normal” range, if there is more of a gap next week (if I’m bigger) than they will probably do an ultra sound to see if Caylee is really big or if she’s just sitting in a way to make me measure big.
She also informed me that I’m dilated to 2 CM. Not that that means anything, many women walk around for weeks at 2 or even 3 or 4 CM. So although it would be nice to think I’m getting close, I keep reminding myself it means nothing.
Both the midwife, my husband and I are hoping Caylee comes between 36 and 37 weeks. Although that is early to most people, since Lexi was so early it is really a good time. I think if Caylee stays in there for the full 40 weeks I’ll feel like I was pregnant forever! (I am already anxious to meet her and hold her!) If she does come that is only between 1 and 2 weeks away! that is a crazy thought. If she decides to wait until 40 weeks I have 4.5 weeks left. ugh, that is a long time.
So anyway, everything is going good with the pregnancy! Caylee is doing good and I’m doing good, and we think Lexi might be realizing something is happening. She at least knows my belly is called Caylee.
Next appointment is next Friday. we’ll see what happens then!
