We had our 36 week check-up on Monday and Miss Brinley Marie is doing great! Other than lower back, hip and groin pain, I'm doing great too. I figure I'm due some pain since the rest of my pregnancy has been smooth sailing. I gained 2 pounds in the past week which brings my total weight gain to 4 pounds for the pregnancy. With 4 weeks left, I hope I don't continue to gain 2 pounds a week! It's crazy that I've only gained 4 pounds so far but when I consider the fact I was overweight to begin with, I suppose I shouldn't be so shocked.
More shocking is that when I arrived in the parking lot to meet Brad for our doctor's appointment, my Mom was sitting in his passenger's seat. She decided to fly in and surprise me!!! It was such a sweet surprise and just what I needed as I've been homesick lately. We spent yesterday afternoon shopping, getting a pedicure and just hanging out. It was so great!
Here's what Brinley and I look like at 36 weeks 1 day. I promise I didn't swallow a basketball.
She's moving like crazy in my tummy as I type and her movements are getting so strong that they make me stop to catch my breath sometimes. I can't wait to meet this little girl that I'm already head over heels in love with! I just know she's going to be perfect...until she gets old enough to be a little turkey!
