Sadie: 36 Weeks Pregnant

How Far Along: 36 Weeks (4 weeks until due date)
Size of baby:  over 18.5 inches long and weighs almost 6 pounds (a crenshaw melon)
Gender: Girl - Sadie
Maternity Clothes: Yes, switch between two maternity dresses.
Weight gain: + 25 pound2
Movement: Sadie moves a little but no rolling around, just stretching. 
Symptoms: some light contractions
Sleep: Sleeping well. Up 2 - 3 times at night.
 What I miss: Being able to move more quickly. It's tough to be sitting on the floor and then Emma needs to go potty so I have to rush to stand up and run to the bathroom with her.
Cravings: Watermelon
Best moment this week:  Doctor's visit.  
What I am looking forward to: Almost the finish line!
Doctor's appointment recap: Urine was good. Blood pressure: good. Sadie has dropped! The fundal height had always been measuring right on track, until this week. I am now measuring 33 weeks. I tested positive for the group b strep; therefore, I will need two doses of antibiotics before labor. I was a bit nervous about this but the more I read, the more comfortable I feel about it. It's common and the likelihood that I'm unable to receive all the antibiotics in time for labor is slim. Cervical check: 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced.
