Monday, Monday

Today I had a dr. appt. I am 36 weeks along. They did my swab for strep B, and checked my cervix. It's still closed up but she said it seems the baby is head down. I am still measuring a week ahead but she said it doesn't nessesarily have to mean anything and that I am all belly and it sticks straight out. So, I am not reading too much into that. I really don't feel anxious today about when I will have Phoenix. What's a few more weeks, right? Besides, there's a few more things I need to do before the baby even comes. They scheduled an Ultrasound on Sat. to check last minute stuff and fluid levels. I am way excited because I get more pictures, but also because they will be able to tell me exactly what he weighs at that point, and to make sure he's head down for sure. BTW, I weighed 124 today which kind of sucks because that's how much I weighed when I delivered Marce, maybe a bit more, but that is the last weight I have recorded for Marce's pregnancy and then I had him a few days later. I have 4 weeks left til I'm 40 weeks, and you're supposed to gain the most weight in that time...so I know already I've surpassed myself this pregnancy...but I still look like a rail in those pictures, I wonder where exactly the weight is? It's not a big deal, I intend to get completely back to normal as soon as possible!

At this point in my pregnancy, I told Sharrid I need his help more than ever with chores. So, every Monday we are going to clean the house and then I'll maintain it best I can til the next Monday til Phoenix is born, that way I feel like my house will be pretty put together at any time that Phoenix would come. I've been pretty worn out and unmotivated the last week or so and even folding the laundry something I'm really good at doing goes for a few days untouched. Soon, I'll have Phoenix here and be on the mend with my mom's help, I can't wait til she gets to come! She will be such a help as I try to figure out the best way to handle my two boys...
