35 weeks prego (according to Doc)

Well, here we are! We made it to week 35 according to the Doc. C-section is officially scheduled for less than a month away! Can't believe time has flown by so fast! She is still quite the little mover and packs a solid punch. She moves all day and night and kicks way more than Cade ever did. Cade was more of a "stretcher"...Caelin, a flipper and kicker! We are putting the last finishing touches on her room and packing the hospital bags this week. We are putting up her bassinet in our room so Baylor and Cade can get used to it. We are also doing a LOT of talking to Cade about "his baby Caelin" coming soon. He loves to read the book "A Baby is on the Way" and we talk about things like how to touch a baby, and what a baby eats. I know he will be such an amazing and loving big brother. I am now on weekly doctor visits, so here are the stats from this week.

• Weight: gained 4.6 lbs this WEEK...oops, I guess I will put down my brownie now.


• Blood Pressure: 104/68


• Caelin's HR: 144


• Uterus measurement: 34 inches


• Sonogram showed she is head down and faced toward my spine. So, we didn't get to see her beautiful face, but we will see it soon anyway! Currently she is measuring about 6lbs, and Doc predicted she will be about 7.5lbs when born.

Here is what BabyCenter.com says about week 35: "Your baby is running out of room to move as she is measuring about 18 inches and 5.25 lbs. Because it is getting snugger in the womb, it isn't likely that she is still doing somersaults anymore, but she may still be kicking regularly. Her kidneys are now fully developed and her liver can now process some waste products. Most of her basic physical development is now complete and the next few weeks will be spent putting on weight."
