35 Weeks

We had our last bi-weekly doctor’s appointment this past week – starting next week we will be going every week. The doctor said that everything looks good! The baby is measuring on track and she guessed that he’s around six pounds right now. She also said he’ll probably be somewhere around eight pounds when he’s born (hopefully he doesn’t take after his mom – she was a whopping 9 lbs five ounces).

After our last appointment when we found out the baby is in the head down, ready to come out position we were reading some materials that said babies usually don’t get in this position until 36 weeks, therefore we asked the doctor if this was ok and she said it’s fine as every baby/pregnancy is different. As long as Julie doesn’t start having contractions we’re all good. However, the doctor did reassure us that if the baby were to come tomorrow, he’d be o.k.

We did a tour of the Swedish birthing center a couple of weekends ago and also had our childbirth preparation class and they were both really helpful. Getting both of these under our belt made us both feel much more prepared and educated on the whole process.

The nursery is still a work in progress but is getting there. We are in the process of getting everything organized and put away and will post pictures in the next couple of weeks.

Here’s some pics of Julie at 35 weeks.
