36 Weeks

Today I am 36 weeks pregnant. The baby weighs about 6 pounds and is just under 20 inches long. She is pretty much done developing other than some weight gain and growth, so this week I will tell you a little about whats going on with me. I went to the doctor Tuesday (I start going every Tuesday now until she is born) and found out I am dilated about 1/2 a centimeter (apparently the Braxton Hicks contractions I have all the time are doing something). I have gained a total of 27 pounds since my first appointment. I am no longer counting the weeks until I give birth but rather the days. I have less than 28 days before baby Cambri will make her appearance. I say less than because if she does not come before her due date I will get induced on it. The doctor says my birth canal is small and if I go past due date there is a good possibility of a c-section. I was told the same thing with Bella and had her naturally, but had to get induced to do so. Here is a picture of what she looks like this week!
