A 36 week Update..

Hello all! Just wanted to give you a little update on things as I had three different appointments today. We had our last ultra sound today and little Ella is in the "ready" position. She weighs approximately 6 lbs. 7 ounces (gained over a pound in the last month). We are pleased that she went from being in the 37 percentile to the 50th and is looking great! We also went to the doc's today and my doctor checked to see if I was dilated. Good news, I was! I was dilated to a 2cm (4 is active labor and EPIDURAL TIME!). I was also 60 percent effaced. So things are moving right along and it is anticipated that I won't make it to my due date and really the baby could be here anytime within the next couple weeks. Also, the doc told me with things moving like they are that my labor should be even shorter than last time (and it wasn't that long to begin with). I am going to Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy several times a week to help with the S.I joint pain (was told today that with my pelvis joint all misplaced, etc. I could be in a lot more pain during labor, BUT, I reminded them that I am already screaming EPIDURAL which will help a ton just with that issue alone). That is about all in the Lamoureaux house. We went to the bookstore today and got Kylie some books that help explain everything and all the changes that are going to take place. We also found the cutest "Babies First Year" book that is written and documented by the older Sibling (Kylie). So we started that project tonight and Kylie is so excited. I decided at the last minute again not to have the doc write a note for me to quit work this week, I just want some closer with my students and have a pretty easy couple days coming up with activities going on at school. However, I will be taking probably Thursday off to rest up and also to attend more appointments. I will keep you all posted. Have a wonderful evening! The Lamoureaux's
