Weeks 33 - 36

Quick update...Things have been going pretty smooth on our end. Some rib and back pain which makes sitting uncomfortable because it is hard to find a good position, but otherwise all is good. The Florida heat this summer has been torture with temperatures in the high 90's with a heat index over 100 degrees, but swimming in the pool with my girls is rather refreshing. Honestly it is how we spend much of our days as long as it isn't storming ;)

Week 33 - This week I completed my final bloodwork. Everything was good, but my iron levels were just slightly on the lower end...nothing major. 

Week 34 - I had an OB appt this week at 34 weeks and 5 days. We did the Group B Strep culture and my doctor checked my cervix. I was not dilated AT ALL which was a little shocking to me considering with both of my girls I was 3-4cm dilated at this point. Little Mac is growing perfectly and is still positioned head down :) Dr. Smith doesn't think that this little guy is coming any time soon and said that we have plenty of time to get the dads here. They are due to arrive on July 9th which is 2 days before I reach the 37 week mark.

Week 35 - The Florida heat has been brutal and I have been noticing my feet have been swollen terribly. It is actually quite painful. I have never experienced this before and was a little worried because swelling can indicate pre eclampsia, but my Dr. is not concerened and my blood pressure is perfect. I've been trying to relax more and keep my feet up...kinda hard with 2 little ones running around and it being summer break :/ We are so close to the finish line though and that makes me super excited :)

Week 36 - Happy Fourth of July!!!! My feet are definitely still swollen. Lots of soaking and elevating going on here. Otherwise I really have no complaints and feel great. Definitely feeling huge these days though.

The girls have been so understanding and anxious as well. My youngest kisses my belly goodnight every night and in the sweetest little motherly voice says "Good night Little Mac." It seriously melts my heart everytime. She even put a heart stamp on my belly the other day and said mama this is because I just love Baby Mac so much! <3 

My next appt is at 36 weeks and 5 days which is the day Little Macs dads head to Florida and await his arrival! Excited is an understatement...we are all anxious to meet this little guy!
