Here is me and baby Noah at 35 weeks. I am now 36 weeks and have just one more week until I am considered full term. Yay! It has been a long road. Last week, I really noticed a drop in baby Noah's movement. It was a drastic drop, so I was worrying and counting kicks like crazy and noticing when he was kicking and when he wasn't. Usually whenever I eat or drink juice or have any type of sugar, he kicks within minutes. By Monday, he wasn't responding to any of that, so I headed over to L&D. They checked him out and everything was fine. I had my Doctor's appointment on Wednesday and she decided that I should get twice weekly stress tests on the baby to make sure that his heart rate, fluid levels, breathing and muscle tone were fine. I got the test done that day and all looked good. It made me feel a little sigh of relief. I go back on Monday for another test. As of yesterday, he started kicking more, so I am going to see if I can go once a week because this is going to cost me an arm and a leg. Other than that, I am feeling big these days. By the end of the day, my feet hurt and my back hurts. I am just ready for him to be here. The big day is less than 3 weeks away. I have been telling everyone that he is going to come early, which means he will now wait until his scheduled c-section! Mike is off this week and will be helping me out a lot and I couldn't be more grateful for. I might have my nanny come next week and help out in the mornings. I just can't get up and down off of the floor a million times, so it is nice to have someone who can. Then I can get some last minute things done. I am officially done working. It really hasn't sunk in yet and I am not sure when it will. I am going to enjoy this time!!
