36 Weeks!

Baby girl we made it to 36 weeks and you have been the best baby for your crazy momma!  I know you are a blessing from God and I promise you that you fulfill the commandments of the Lord and the covenants that you make with Him you will be blessed immensely.  If you ever wonder what I am talking about I want you to read the post from my A- Z: Results and Remembering Him.  I am so excited to be your momma, I am scared that I am going to make mistakes but I hope that together we can learn from them and both grow closer to Him as a result.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted on my shoulders now that school is done but more importantly not that we are at 36 weeks.  We were told at the hospital that if you came before we would be shipped out to another hospital because they are small and don't deal with any complicated pregnancies, so your dad and I were grateful as the 36 week mark hit and we knew you could come any time to be with us and have the birth the way we were envisioning it to be.  Your movements are getting stronger and I feel you move around a lot now.  Lots of times you are facing my spine and so I feel you on the inside but not on the outside but you have been squirmy a lot lately I think because it is getting tight in there for you.  I can't believe it is less than 4 weeks and you could be here.

Some fun facts about you:

• You are the size of  a coconut and are starting to chub out.  You measure in at 17.2 inches to 18.7 inches and weigh in about 4.5 pounds.  I sometimes wonder if you are going to be a long chub baby but both Daddy and I were small in weight at the lower 7 pounds... and normal length.  I hope you are little just so it is easier to get you out. :)
• We go for your last ultrasound this Wednesday before you come.  Daddy is taking a class so I will get pictures and maybe a disc of you moving around... we will see how it goes.  
• This week you have accomplished the feats needed to survive easier in this world from: your live and kidneys are now all ready to go, and your circulation and immune system is in working order!
• Your skin is getting soft and your gums are rigid so you can have beautiful teeth :)
• Your adopted Aunt Jessica gave us a whole bunch of baby stuff for you to wear and some super cute outfits, she has been an angel for us as I have struggled with my pregnancy.  

Daddy has decided he doesn't like one of the middle names we picked for you and so we are trying to find the perfect middle name now.  We agree on two out of the three so we are doing well!  We love you baby and can't wait to meet you.
