Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.
Mom's Notes: Oh boy am I ready for this baby boy to get here! This has definitely been the hardest pregnancy, but I have said that God needed to make this one extra hard so I can really be ok with being done having babies after he gets here! :)
I went in for my 34 week (and 5 days) check up and found I was dilated to 1 cm and not efaced at all. He was still pretty high as well.
The next Thurs, I was contracting all day and feeling pretty yucky with a lot of lower back pain, and Zayde wasn't moving a ton. So I decided to go get checked the next day (35 weeks and 5 days) and see how everything looked. They put me on a non-stress test which is supposed to monitor the babies heart rate. It was pretty calm and they liked to see more spikes, but there wasn't any dips so that was good. I hadn't eaten lunch yet and so they gave me some juice and I ended up being on that thing for 45 min (vs the 15 they had told me). They did start seeing some spikes after I had the juice and everything looked good. She checked me again and I was dilated to a 2 and 50% efaced..so a little progress! :)
