35 week update

Things are looking good.
I'm feeling much better.

My uterus is 35 cm...back on target.
I lost a pound, not surprising with how I was feeling last week.

There's a lot of baby on my ribs...Dr. R. thinks he may be 8 lbs! I don't know why I associate this with health, but I do. Elliot was such a little guy (and yeah, he's got a helluvalotta personality packed in that little frame) that I've been worried with my non-existent weight gain, that maybe something is wrong. Truth is, baby may still have health issues, or missing parts, or mysteriously named congenital defects, and be 8 lbs. I know this. But for whatever reason, I like her prediction, and I'll love this baby. If anything, we know so well that children with special needs are just children, and they need what we all do...I guess it's just my time to think about that.

When I got PG with Ian, I lost 17 lbs. Then I gained it back and delivered at the same weight I was at conception. The good news- I lost the 17 again after he was born. Hurray for the baby factory metabolism boost! Also, he was my biggest at 7lbs 11oz. Big and healthy:)
