36 Weeks

Yesterday marked the beginning of Week 36 of my pregnancy...CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!

I've gained about 30 pounds, which my doctor says is great...sounds like a lot to me, but she assures me that it's ok! I'm at the point of appointments once-a-week and today we talked about the possibility of me being induced. IF I go to my due date, which is August 29th, I will be induced either on that day or soon after. She will tell me next Monday the date we can mark on our calendar! Today I was 1-2 cm dilated and 75% effaced. My doctor told me that I could be at that state for a couple of weeks, but she also said I was "prime"?! She said, "Let me put it this way, I have another patient that I induced this morning and you are farther along than her!" I'm getting really excited-not really nervous at this point, although maybe I should be?! Stay tuned! My next appointment is next Monday!
