Just the 3 of us....for now! (And a poll)

I'm 34 1/2 weeks pregnant and Lil W is happy as a clam! I, on the other hand, am learning what it feels like to really be pregnant. I'm getting BIG...and I'm pretty sure this baby has taken up every ounce of space I have possible. Tired, backache, heartburn, bruised ribs...you name it, I have it. But I LOVE it!!!!

I went in yesterday for my weekly non-stress test and the dr said the baby's heartrate was great and it indicates that the baby's brain development is great too. So from this point on, he said if I go into labor, he wants me to go to the hospital for a possible IV, but he won't use any medication to stop it at this point! So that's very exciting...but I also know that we could meet Lil W any day now!!!! I can't wait to meet this peanut. I wonder if it's a boy or girl...if he/she will look like Abigail looked...what it will be like to have the baby in our room and not in the NICU...if he/she will be healthy and happy...if we are ready...so much to think about and it's so exciting!

Everyone has been asking how Abigail is doing. She doesn't really understand what's about to happen, but she is really into babies. She loves to feed her babies, rock them, and change their diapers. Also, when we say our prayers at night, she always prays for the baby (after "Mamer" of course). I think she's gonna be a great big sis..and Mommy's helper.

Sunday is the big 35!!! 35 weeks down...35 days to go!!!! And unfortunately, 35 lbs...I assume the baby will weigh 20 and I have only gained 15. :)

Oh yeah...I wanted to do a baby poll, but I wanted to have it done in the comments so I can remember them after I take the poll down. So here's what I'm wondering:
1. Boy or Girl? (If you are brave, you can even guess a name).
2. Weight?
3. Birthday?

Super news...almost 35 weeks!!! Keep resting and keep Lil W in as long as possible. He/She does not want to come yet...the weather is too crummy for his/her arrival!

I am getting so anxious, but this baby is going to hold out for a few more weeks! We want to see how big you can get! :)
