Hooray, I made it to 36 weeks! 

Okay, I realized that for many pregnant women hitting the 36 week mark only means they have another 4 weeks to go before they get to see their precious baby.  But for me, given that Aidan was born at 33 weeks therefore putting me in the category of women who could potentially have a premature baby, making it to 36 weeks is a grandiose occasion.  It means that my baby will be born full term and I no longer have to worry about having another premature baby (which is not fun at all). 

Yay!  Now it’s just a waiting game.

Speaking of games, my husband’s family and some of my friends are making predictions on when they think the baby will make her debut.  Here are the current guesses:

• Laurie – August 13
• Debbie – August 17
• Patrick – August 18
• Tawny – August 19
• William & Carolyn – August 20
• Ryan – August 21
• Dylan – August 22
• Rick – August 24
• Sean – September 06

Btw, you are welcome to voice your prediction on when you think the baby will arrive.

Pregnancy update:  The midwife examined me today.  She says that I am almost 70% effaced, 1 cm dilated, and the baby’s head is in the -4 position in relation to my cervix.

And finally, I leave you with a not so flattering picture of my belly at 36 weeks.  I blame the dress!  Enjoy.  🙂
