Bump Update: Week 36

My pictures just keep getting worse and worse. I don't even care what I look like anymore. 

This week was exciting for me because I was checked for the first time to see if I've dilated or progressed. I wasn't dilated, but my cervix was nice and soft. (All that raspberry leaf tea - wink wink) My baby is in the head-down position which is another good thing. 

The best part of my appointment was getting weighed and finding out that I've dropped 5lbs! 

So tonight I helped myself to a pint of cinnamon bun ice-cream. I wish I was kidding... 

Another exciting part of this week was that Tuesday marked exactly one month until my due date. This is an exciting time for me.

What Fruit/Veggie are you? Coconut. I love coconut.

Next appointment: Tuesday at 1:45pm. Let's all cross our fingers that I've dilated at least 1cm.

Total weight gain/loss: I've gained 25lbs so far... But then there was Thanksgiving...and then there was that pint of ice-cream. 

Exercise: I've been going to the gym here and there. Went on a walk the other day and my knees HURT, so that was pretty depressing for me.
