We hit the 36 week mark of pregnancy today! That means there’s only four weeks left until our baby girl is due to arrive. Of course, this means she could come in three weeks, or five weeks, or even six weeks…but four weeks would be just perfect.

I started the weekly appointment schedule with the doc yesterday. He confirmed that her head is down and that my body is starting to get ready – I am about 1 cm dilated and 50 percent effaced. She weighs about six pounds right now, which will put her at a perfect eight when it’s time for her to be born. My blood pressure is fine, my weight gain is fine and I’m measuring exactly 36.

In celebration of my first cervix check and impending arrival of a baby girl, I treated myself to a tasty pink shake.

Of course, I realize all these measurements could be off and about a million crazy things could happen… but right now I am praying that this, the most uneventful pregnancy ever, would continue and turn into the most uneventful delivery ever!
