Well now that I am 36 weeks the doctor has said I can come off my medication and the bed rest!!! You have know idea how excited I am. This has been the longest 4 and 1/2 weeks of my life. You would think that laying in bed would be nice but after about day 2 I was going nuts. Now I am less than 3 weeks from my scheduled C-section and I have so much to do, life is going to be very busy for me. I am so excited to get everything ready for this little bundle of joy. I really don't have much to report these last 4 weeks. The doctor did make a comment that I gained 10 pounds in the last 4 weeks and I had to laugh. I have done nothing but eat and sit on my butt, plus it was during the holidays so I thought 10 pounds wasn't to bad. He then told me it was actually a good thing because I needed it. Now that this little peanut is 36 weeks the baby is packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. The baby now weighs almost 6 pounds and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. The baby is shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered it's body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected the baby's skin during it's nine-month amniotic bath. At the end of this week, our baby will be considered full-term. I am hoping that this baby will be coming this week or just stay right were it is until Feb 3rd. Rylan's birthday is on Jan 28th and I hope not to be in the hospital for it!
