35/35 today! woo-hoo

35 weeks left and 35 days to go. I"m almost there. This week's appointment is on Thursday and I'll be given the Group B strep test. In short, strep is a type of bacteria than can be passed to a newborn during labor. If you test positive, they basically start you up on antibiotics so that the baby's chances of getting infected are reduced.

How big is Baby?


Here is a cool video of weeks 28-37 (last trimester). So far so good, I'm tired and feel achy. The little one is running out of space and every now and then I get bouts of insomnia. Its funny how nature works. I'm scared of labor and delivery but that feeling is slowly starting to fade with restlessness - I WANT AN OUTSIDE BABY ALREADY~!

My family calls me everyday to check in and make sure I'm ok. K, is making sure that I absolutely do *nothing* around the house so that I don't end up hurting his 'golden child' in any way lol. I think by far, he has become the most amazing, supportive, loving husband in the world. He has even gone as far as cooking some of the meals throughout the week and even baking some desserts. If you guys know anything my husband, he doesn't bake. However, he gladly puts on his chef's hat and willing to wear many others for the sake of my happiness. God, I lurrrrrve him.

At night, he'll sit and talk to my belly for minutes on end. "What's going on in there?....How are you doing?" he asks the baby. She kicks on cue as if in response her daddy's voice. Its by far, one of the things I most enjoy about this pregnancy- both of them trying to communicate with each other through the wall that is my belly.

Its crazy to think of how much we love each other and in love we both are with our daughter. And she hasn't even been born yet! I'd hate to sound sappy but I've sat there and pinched myself. I seem to have stumbled upon the family life I always wanted and dreamed of.

Then, I remember there are no coincidences. K, and I have fought hard to make it through together all these years. Events in our life wont always be puppies and rainbows. I'm sure we'll see more stormy weather. Yet, its these moments I try to record in my heart in mind. These are the times when 'living the moment' and just enjoying the day are in order.
