I went to get ready to post my 35 week post ON TIME last night and then I couldn't use the camera...maybe I'll be able to get to it tonight after our hospital tour...or maybe it will be super late again when I'm almost 36 weeks.
Regardless, I had my 35 week appointment today. And I had all of these questions written down about all of the braxton hicks contractions I've been having and when I should start worrying about them to make sure I give the hospital enough time to stop them. Because oh my gosh, I'm only 35 weeks and this baby isn't technically fully cooked until 37 weeks so surely they will stop labor.
Ummm...NO! I was completely wrong. The PA looked at me before I even got to that question and said emphatically, "Girl, we aren't stopping anything now!" She's very spunky, and I completely love her, and wish she did labors. But I'm pretty sure the look on my face was, what? I'm not ready yet!
Granted, there have been no signs that this baby will come early, minus the cramping and braxton hicks. But nothing consistent that should worry me. But you know me, I worry :)
To sum it up, OMG, this just got real!
Natural feelings and you will be fine. Women have birthed babies for centuries...scary none the less though. I miss the baby picture though. Can't wait to see you next weekend. Love MOM
