35 weeks

We have made it! This is the date that my doctor and we were shooting for. Although, I am still taking it somewhat easy...not driving except for to downtown and not with Josh in the car, not picking Joshua up, resting when I need to, not chasing the little tyke around. I made it to church today and that was great. I hope I can get a few more Sundays in. We went to Walmart this evening for an errand. Jason just about fell over laughing when he turned around and saw me waddling down the aisle. It is most pronounced when I try and move quickly. I have to actively concentrate on putting my feet the way a 'normal' person walks. I almost peed myself when I started laughing in reaction to his laughing. Oh the joys of pregnancy!

We had maternity photos taken yesterday morning. I should have the proofs online by Wednesday. The photographer was great and the photo session was a lot of fun. The focus was the growing belly but we did get shots of all of us during the morning. I am looking forward to seeing how they turned out. We will have a second photo session after the baby is born.

Baby is now over 5 pounds and most of his/her organs and systems are developed. At this point he is growing and putting on fat. There is a chance that he would end up in the NICU if he were born now but long term he should be ok.

Jason has been very encouraging as far as helping me to remember my exercises for delivery. He been reassuring in the fact that if we can get even a couple of weeks in before delivery my body will be ready. Delivery has definitely been a concern for me since I have been so sedentary and not nearly in the shape I was for Joshua's birth.
