So today I had my 35 week appointment... All went well. Blood pressure, urine, and weight all great. I had to do my GBS Test today. Hopfully will get a negative result. Today my midwife checked me to see what's going on and we figured a few things out.... I'm dilated to almost 2cm, I'm 50% effaced, and my cervix is about 70% soft... Also the baby is almost at a -1 station so -2 station right now. Which is some progress because the baby was as a -5 station two weeks ago; and the day I had Alexus, she was at a -3 station when my midwife broke my water. The last time I was checked, I wasn't dilated at all and that was only about 2 weeks ago. So she thinks that the baby might come a little early. And she's pretty sure I won't make it past 38.5 weeks. But she won't be suprised if she is born sometime within the next week and a half. I wanted to go with my sister back to Burns, OR to visit my dad for a day but my midwife said that it wouldn't be the best idea. So for now I'm stuck at home. But I'm ok with that. I'm just ready for this kid to be born!

Well last Monday I had my glucose test and Rhogam shot. All went well... I passed my glucose test thank the Lord. I also am starting my kick counts and I got my birth plan... Which I filled out in the office! hehe My next appointment is the 26th of this month. And I'm getting so excited that this baby will be here soon!

Last night I asked my mom if she could take Lexie until Monday and she agreed... I have been getting less than an hour a night of sleep and I needed more. So she took her around 6:30 and I went to be at 7:00pm. I actually fell right to sleep, which is very unusual for me because I can never get comfortable. Then about 7:45 my mom called to tell me she was making dinner because they were all hungry and that after Lexie would be going to bed... Then I fell back asleep and woke up about midnight and went to the bathroom.. Let's just say I slept until 2:30pm this afternoon and last night I woke up about 4 other times to go to the bathroom. I'm still really, really, tired but I thought it might be a good idea to get up and get something to eat. (Which I'm still deciding!) I saw Fried Green Tomatos on and decided to watch it... So here I am not knowing what to really do with myself because Lexie isn't here! hehe

It keeps amazing me that I'm not gaing as much weight with this baby as I was with Lexie. I've only gained 12lbs. and my belly isn't as big as it was when I was almost 30 weeks with Lexie... Of course Cheyanne is growing like crazy everyday, I'm just smaller. Speaking of Cheyanne, she's been kicking soooo much. All day and night. (One of the reasons I haven't gotten much sleep) But last night I got into bed and it's like she knew I needed sleep and only kicked when I woke up to go to the bathroom! I just have to thank the Lord that he made it possible for me to get some sleep last night. Hopefully He'll do the same tonight!
