Week 35

Finally another doctors appointment. We were suppose to go last Monday, but I had an all day field trip so we went today, which put us three weeks since our last one. Everything looks pretty good. I have officially gained exactly 30 lbs. which is pretty awesome because they say between 25-35 is good growth. My blood pressure was right on track again at 104/68. Based on when I first started going to the doctor, I am 35 weeks along, once again when she measured me, I measured BIG! Last time at 33 weeks I measure 36 cm and this time at 35 weeks I am measuring 38cm. They say that each cm should equal about/close to what week you are in. Based on this, Dr.Betterton thinks that Sydney is a little big already. So big, that next Tuesday I go in again for our new weekly appointments, and she wants me to have an ultra sound and get checked to see her real size.
I'm a little nervous but I think everything will work out. One of the crazy things I did find out today was that the doctor thinks that I am having Braxton Hicks (?) contractions. When she measured me today she noticed that my belly was rock hard. When she asked if I had been having contractions, I said "I don't know, I don't know what they feel like?" that's when she responded with "I think you are having one (a Braxton Hicks one) right now." That's when I informed her that I have been having those for a couple of weeks, I just thought it was Syd pushing on my belly and making it hard.
WHO KNEW!
With all this info. that I had no idea about and the ultra sound and check coming up, I am getting excited but nervous. We'll have to see what next Tuesday brings us.

P.S. I also was the lucky recipient of a warm bath that was drawn for me, with calming Epsom salts and lit candles. What a great husband I have. If he spoils Syd the way he spoils me, us Larsen girls are set for life. LOVE HIM!!!
