36/37 week report and picts

we've begun the weekly appts...finally! we had an appt last thursday. there are no signs of estella arriving anytime soon. she was still so high, the doc opted to do a quick ultrasound just to make sure she was still head down. luckily, she is. everything is looking good. our next appt is this thursday.

i did have a bought of contractions last wednesday night. not painful. but, they lasted for about 3 hours. we concluded it was probably stress-related and not real labor.

we had a great weekend, last weekend. nan was in town. (for those of you who dont know nan...she is one of my best friends that i've known since 7th grade and is expecting a baby girl in October.) it was fun to relax with another preggars for the weekend. and, we got lots of funny looks with our baby bellies. apparently, 2 pregnant women is a strange sight...

we took this belly shot last night (36.5 weeks)

34 weeks!

i think it finally hit us that we will have a new baby very soon. this weekend we talked about our new addition quite a bit. we have really done much prep for her arrival. maybe the nesting bug will hit sometime soon? i guess we do know that she doesnt need much, so there isn't huge pressure to get her room ready.

last week the doc hooked us up to the monitor. estella was a little lethargic, so they wanted to make sure all was ok. she passed all the needed markers. so, they sent us home. our next appt is on the 15th, then we will go once/week. wow. crazy.

i am beginning to feel really pregnant. tired. hard to roll out of bed. the norm. but, she is doing good. she is quite active in there. (a lot more than ely was.) i would say she might be a gymnastic with some of her tumbles :)

attached is a pic of my tummy at 32 weeks (about 2 weeks ago). i will post another at 36 weeks.
