36 weeks or so..

I went to the doctor on Wednesday and for the 3rd month in a row, I'm measuring a week ahead...so 37 weeks. Baby Riley is doing great. I, on the other hand, have reached the weight I was when I gave birth to Caleb and 5 pounds more, for a total of 36 pounds. I still have (possibly) another 4 weeks. I'm eating only carrots and tuna fish from here on out. I swear they made a mistake when they translated the kilograms into pounds. Either way, I'm feeling like a whale. Shawn's great advice is "we" are in the home stretch now (he's so helpful). I've been having some cramping at night and my braxton hicks are getting more intense. Hopefully, they will come together and give me some good contractions. Riley just can't come next week cause Shawn will be gone, but the day he gets home, Riley has clearence for travel.

Only 36 pounds?? That is amazing! I gained no less than 45 with each baby so I think that you are going a great job! And I loved that 'cleared for travel'! Terrific!
