35 Weeks! Goal!

Yesterday marked the beginning of 35 weeks, which was our goal after delivering Dylan.  I feel great!  Home monitoring is going great with just a few minor contractions, nothing to cause any concern as they are expected at this point of the pregnancy.  My days are filled with lounging around and doing easy baby things.  When the sun is out I throw on a bikini (gasp) and hit the lounge chair for some sun.

B & I went to Orange for a routine appointment yesterday and Zoe is doing very well.  She is still breech  and close to 6 pounds.  Zoe doesn't care to cooperate with getting good measurements, stubborn just like her mother!  She does love to show off her long legs though.  When we see her on the ultrasound screen it is so hard to believe that this perfect little baby has half a heart.  All in all Dr. A is very pleased with our progress and we have a plan set.

So here is the big news... the c-section is scheduled for July 25th on the 39th week mark! (I really want to avoid this surgery, so flip Zoe flip!)  

My motherly instinct feels that things will be stirring around 37 weeks, however I am a bit terrified of going into labor with the cerclage.  The thought of the stitches ripping just makes me cringe even though Dr. A said I'd have plenty of time to get to the hospital.

Mom is coming down tomorrow to stay for awhile.  I am excited to work on some baby room projects with her.  Hopefully I can convince her to try out some tasty new recipes as well.
