We just reached 36 weeks and things are definitely becoming more REAL. I have been having some pretty intense back contractions for the past week and a half. So intense that is has woke me up in the middle of the night. I am a little less than 1 cm dilated but Doc has warned us to be prepared for anytime for this bambino to make its debut. I can no longer say Little One because apparently we have a chunk. At our ultrasound yesterday we were told that baby is already weighing around 6.6 pounds and that if I go the full 40 then we are probably looking at an 8 pounder. I guess baby has taken all my weight gain, which is officially 21 pounds so far. We did get a glimpse at some chubby cheeks and a pudgy nose...adorable! The rest is hard to make out because Baby's arms were covering most of the face.
A couple of weeks ago I had my baby shower. It couldn't have turned out better, except that Martha and Nicole weren't able to join. :( Overall, mostly everyone showed up and I got some great essential baby gifts. It was really a nice time. And my mom and sister, Bridgette, came in from Alabama!
At 33 weeks, my sis Nicole took some wonderful maternity pics for Marshall and I. They really turned out great! Here are a few.
