Baby Lisk is starting to move from his breeched position in my uterus, down into my pelvis as he's getting ready to be born. Most of his organ and skeleton development is complete, although they are getting further strengthened and refined as the day draws near. As he enters the homestretch, he's mainly still piling on that baby fat. He's between 18-19 inches and 5-6 lbs, the size of a bunch of carrots, he's getting close to the size he's going to be at birth! Yay! I can't wait to see his cute, sweet face already! :)
I've been battling a cold this past week which isn't the most enjoyable thing in the world..but I guess I should be kind-of used to it by now. It might just be a cold but I swear, these colds are getting worse and worse. I feel like I'm developing a sinus infection or something! :/ I just really hope I start to feel better before I get to head to the hospital because I just can't imagine giving birth while feeling like crap would be very fun.
If you would like to guess as to when Baby Lisk is going to make his arrival, you can do that here! :)
Doctor Update: Had our doctor appointment today and everything is still looking good! Baby Lisk is still measuring right on track. She did end up doing the Strep B test today and then checked to see if I was dilated at all. I have a tilted uterus/cervix, so it's kind-of hard to check in the beginning. But she said my cervix is like a cone right now..I'm dilated to 1 where Baby's head is at and 2 at the opening. My cervix is still closed so I don't think baby is going to be coming anytime soon. She said I can get checked next week again (I start going weekly, now..the end is near!) if I want to or I can wait until my 37 week check. I'll probably get checked to see if I've progressed at all, though. :)
How far along: 35 weeks

Miss anything: sleep and energy! (which is also non-existent now a days because I'm sick. :()
Movement: a lot more recently!
Labor signs: Braxton-Hicks contractions & my hips have been more sore lately, especially when I lay on them for a while. I'm not sure if it's the mattresses or if it's because Baby is starting to move down!

Belly in/out: sticking out more and more.
Mood: pretty good lately..just being sick doesn't help with my crabbiness and frustration.

Looking forward to: I have no idea..not a whole lot going on this week. I guess my next doctor's appointment? I'll start to be checked which is a yay and nay for me! I like knowing if I've dilated and everything but I do not enjoy the process of it all. I'd say Valentine's Day but I feel like it's such a dumb holiday. It's just another day to me. Heath and I might do something but we definitely don't go overboard or anything.
