Week 35

 Week 35 and less then 35 days to go.

Nursery is almost complete, breast pump arrived, Hospital tour schedule for tonight and Pediatrician interviews next week.
My new mantra is.. “please don’t come out early, Mommy is not ready.. please stay in, get comfy .. there is no rush!”

Nervous, I checked the CDC's stats on when women give birth by percentage at the following gestational age:

30% - Week 37- 38

30% - Week 39

30% - Week 40-41

Odds are in our favor that we are safe for the next 2 weeks.

The Doctor has our official due date at Sept 28. My motherly instinct says mark your calendars for 10/01, while my parent’s suspect my birthday, 10/03 or 5th and David’s family wonders if the baby will lean closer to his birth date on Sept 20.
Take your bets now.

I do feel bigger and breathing is more difficult, which makes sense as the baby is the size of a coconut or honeydew melon and will be putting on more weight each week.  Her heartbeat was strong at the Doctor’s today at 153 and her head was down!
