I am 37 weeks today!
That means Hollis is considered FULL TERM!
WAHOOO!
Ross and I are so thankful that Hollis is still hanging out in my belly!
The belly continues to grow…
which IS the whole point of pregnancy – to grow a baby.
But for me, this is HUGE!
and even though it is virtually impossible for me to get comfortable,
I am loving every second of growing another life inside of me!
{36 weeks}
I had a doctor appointment last Tuesday for a BPP and to get my cerclage removed.
Hollis passed the BPP again receiving an 8/8!
We are so thankful she is doing so well!
…but we were unable to get any good ultrasound pictures of her this week…
she just wasn’t feeling a photo shoot that day!
{36 weeks 3 days}
The second the cerclage was removed, I immediately dilated from 1cm to 3cm.
But Hollis decided to stay put!
I have been taking it easy since the removal of my cerclage and am so thankful to have Ross who is amazingly supportive and who has been completely running our house since last Tuesday! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and daddy for our children!
{36 weeks 5 days}
This week I have been VERY uncomfortable.
Lots of contractions (obviously Braxton Hicks), back pain, etc!
I am not sleeping at night and have NO energy…
Thank goodness I am able to lounge around in my PJ’s all day and take it easy!
So, when I went to see Dr. Keeton on Friday morning for a NST and to get checked,
I was CONVINCED I would be at least 4cm dilated and Hollis would arrive this weekend…
NOT the case!
{36 weeks 6 days}
I am still 3cm dilated!!!
(Honestly I am kind of relieved because I know the longer she stays put, the better!)
… The wait is on!…
You loon so great!! I’m happy she is doing well inside your tunmy, but sad you aren’t able to sleep! Your skin looks great! Do you have anything special you do during prenancies to help from getting stretch marks, etc. or are you just one of “those” lucky ones?
Have a great weekend!
look* so great.
You are so cute! You are making it so cozy in there she doesnt want to come out!! So glad all is well with her! Although I cant wait to see her!!
You and your family are in my prayers.
You are such a beautiful pregnant person (and not pregnant too!) Congrats on making it to 37 weeks!!
You look absolutely gorgeous! Glowing, seriously! Good luck, you are almost to the end! SO happy for your sweet family!
so glad things are still going great! and you are gorgeous!!
Yay! You stay right where you are Hollis.
Energy or not, you look amazing girl!!! love your dress and top. Hey, how about a post on your maternity wardrobe? (Not that it will help me now, I’ve already “popped”).
