36 weeks...3 more pounds!

we went to the doctor again today.  no news, other than a 3lbs weight gain - and i swear its all in you baby!! they say i am measuring right on track, but i feel like you are sooo big! when i was pregnant with your brothers, my belly just stuck out really far, when looking at me head on or from the back, people were often surprised when i mentioned that i was pregnant!  but with you, im carrying you everywhere!!  i feel like you are sometimes wrapping around my sides! 

you were super active at the doctors office this morning, making it difficult to get a heart rate count, but because of all the activity our doctor didnt seem to concerned!  she also put money on the fact that you wont weigh more than tuscan did at birth, which was 8lb 2oz!  so we'll see...i have a feeling she may be wrong about that one, unless of course you decide to make your grand entrance sooner than your potential due date!

we have one more appointment scheduled for next wednesday.  we are seeing our primary OB, so hopefully by then things will have progressed a bit more and we will get some more information.  i would love the chance to even sneak a peek at you and maybe get an estimated size, just to be sure you wont turn into a 10lb bag of potatoes!!  according to statistics, you should be nearing 6lbs at this point, but your twin brothers were born at 35 weeks and they weighed 5lb 14oz and 6lbs 9oz...so im going to guess that you are a tad bigger than a statistic!

your dad and i went for pedicures this morning, you and i were both truly enjoying that hour of relaxation!  you were moving around like crazy.  but i do think the girl was being gentle on my toes, as to not disturb anything today!  a pedicure didnt work for inducing labor when i was pregnant with tuscan, so im not to concerned its going to do anything for you either!  we also had a dentist appointment...so really, everything is starting to line up.  things are being checked off the list.  we really are getting ourselves ready for you baby!  whenever you are ready, so are we!

but until next week, hang tight baby...and hopefully ill see you soon!
i love you more than words can say
