35 weeks...and progressing!

so baby, we had a doctors appointment today - and in my opinion, it was a good one!  the downside was, we gained 5lbs in the last two weeks (but im set on the idea that it was only because we were at the other office, on a different scale!)  the good news is, we are 1cm dialated!  and that makes your momma a very happy woman!  that means all these braxton hicks contractions we have been experiencing are starting to do something beneficial for us, instead of just increasing my back pain and leaving me with severe headaches!

you are measuring (from the outside) exactly where you should be at 35 weeks, although i must admit that i am super curious about your actual weight - only because your twin brothers were born the morning of their 35th week and they weighed 5lb 14oz and 6lbs 9oz!

we stopped at nonna's office after our appointment today - debbie is still insisting you are a girl and aunt sandy did the needle and thread test on me - first: a boy, second: a boy, third: a boy, fourth: a girl, fifth: nothing - the needle stood as still as could be!!  nonna and i looked at each other, pretty shocked!  apparently its a test that an older member of our family used to do without fail.  she was always dead on, and in aunt sandy's family it has stood true so far!  so i guess within the next few weeks we will see if peoples predictions are right about you!  either way baby, you must know that i will love you millions.  no matter what you are the final piece to our puzzle, you are what will complete us as a family and we are just so excited to meet you!

hang tight little baby - just a few more weeks until your grand arrival!!  im getting so excited - you have no idea!! 

millions,
