Next up, 36 weeks . . .

"We made it to the doctor appointment mile marker just fine. She is very pleased with how things have gone this past week and baby is still thriving. Her guess is that BITB is around 5 1/2 pounds, but it's hard to truly tell a baby's weight until their born. I have actually lost some weight, which is unusual for bed rest, but all of us have been thinking that the medication I'm on, which tend to make me a little jittery, is effecting my appetite and maybe speeding up my metabolism.

My doctor said that since I haven't experienced any more contractions that I can even go off the uterus relaxing medication and see how that makes me feel. Ross and I are fine with that so I'm going to wean myself off it over the next day. We'll see how that goes and if it changes anything as far as when BITB comes.

Next up, 36 weeks mile marker . . . fingers crossed!"
