36 Weeks


Just wanted to update everyone on my weekly OB appointments.  Last week, 35 weeks, my doctor checked me for the first time and stated I was already "1 1/2 centimeters dilated, really thinned out, and she is really low.  I don't think you will make it to your due date.".  Dr. S seemed surprised by my status, so that was something of significance to me.  She thought my progress was due to the fact that I had been walking 2 miles on the treadmill three times per week.  Then this week, 36 weeks, she said I was 2 1/2 centimeters dilated, 60% effaced, but the baby still needed to drop a little bit more.  I also got the results from my group b strep test, negative.  Dr. S said my ultrasound from the week before looked good in reference to the baby's size and amount of amniotic fluid.  She told me "any time now", which kind of freaked me out.  I immediately started thinking of all the things I needed to do.  I was now a ticking time bomb.

Finally, Baby T's room was completed. Below are some pictures and if anyone wants to know more about any of the items, just send me a message!






Jett, patiently awaiting the arrival of his little sister.

  1. Love the pix! She is such a lucky little girl with two such loving soon-to-be parents! I can't wait to meet that little girl who can surely call me "Aunt Juli". Stay in there a little longer baby K.T. and we will meet you soon...and keep goin' strong mama. It's tough at the end, but you'll make it! Love you all :)
