Waiting on You...Update #1
On Friday January 24th (36.5 weeks) Meghan's head is down and very low (way to go our little breech-thru-pregnancy baby!). I am 50% effaced and 0 cm dilated. Looks like we're not having a baby yet!

Baby Hoosier :: Week 36
This week, Baby is the size of a: honeydew melon
Total weight gain/loss: 38 lbs gained - I asked my doctor about this, since it's over the recommended amount, and he said he has no concerns with my weight gain because it's all been in my belly (I have gained nowhere else, besides my swollen ankles) - he laughed when he lifted my shirt to listen for her heartbeat saying, "My goodness! You are ALL baby!"
Sleep: some nights I sleep well, most nights I toss and turn and am up most of the night - just getting ready for having a sweet baby girl who needs her mama during the night
Best moment this week: I had my shower at work on Thursday - we were so blessed by the generosity and support of my coworkers.
Movement: She continues to be a wiggler! She's out of room, but that doesn't stop her from trying to make some! She "goes to sleep" during very loud events - such as the Garmin Winter Event video and me running the grain mill. She also startles at sudden loud noises - ouch!
Food cravings: apples and pancakes
Symptoms: She is sitting very low - I can't usually put my legs together. Cole enjoys watching the ways that I have adjusted daily tasks to account for my new center of gravity. He told me that we would have to "do this again" because "you're so cute!" One of my students (who correctly was adamant that she was a girl from the day we told the kids that I was having a baby) insists that she is coming in 8 days - we will see if he is correct :)
Belly Button in or out: Out - completely out!
Milestones: The doctor says we are full term despite being only 36 weeks - he says we are ready to birth this baby whenever she is ready to come - wow!!
