36 weeks :)

       36 weeks!! I am officially the most pregnant I have ever been! This is a huge milestone for me, and I am so relieved. Every day that the baby is cooking in my womb is huge, and I am very excited. My doctor's appointment went very well today. No protein in my urine, and my blood pressure was 120/80. I'm nervous it is going to creep up, but it has stayed roughly between 115-125/70-80 this whole pregnancy, so I am still within my normal range. The doctor measured me today, and he said "you've got a big baby." Not surprised there. Connor was 6 lbs 13 oz at 35 weeks 4 days! I did test positive for the Group B Strep though. Bummer! It isn't a huge deal apparently, according to my doctor. He said that they will administer the antibiotics, and it will be fine. If that is my only problem, I will be thrilled. The contractions have been pretty rough this time! I didn't have them with Connor, so it is definitely different. Adam doesn't seem to really understand, but they are painful! Doctor told me today that if I have regular contractions and/or my water breaks to go to Labor and Delivery, obviously. He joked today that I probably won't make it to 39 weeks. I am sure I will though! I hope so! Please continue prayers for Austin and Me! I appreciate the support, prayers, and love!
