36 Weeks...

Only four weeks to go!! Had another check-up today and will continue to visit now once a week...so due time is definitely NEAR! I am dilated only at a 1 which sounds exciting and all but in reality, this news really means nothing. I've gained more weight now weighing in at 129 lbs. UGH! And...the discussion of arrival has finally started to be, well, discussed. Dr. Nonweiler-Parr believes induction is necessary should Charlie not arrive before her due date so I can say that we will have another baby girl on or before September 8th!! PHEW!

At this point...this pregnancy has been so incredibly different that I am SO READY to get this done. We had yet another scare, only today, with Charlie's heart rate. Listening to her heart beat super fast, skip to nothing, then start back slowly was so alarming my heart probably skipped a beat as well. Had a stress test done lasting a half hour only to promote the same results. I've been sent home this time but have been given details of when I need to head to the E.R. and will probably have the test repeated next week, maybe even up until she's born, just to be safe. She moves around so much and so aggressively that we pray her activeness is the cause for such an irregular beat. Sheesh...maybe she'll just come early so we can end all the madness!!!!

On a lighter note...she still measures perfectly and likes to kick her cousin Joseph when I'm hold him. I can almost predict the future with these two!! LOL!

Hope everyone is having a great week!! Love.
