Week 36

So today I'm 36 weeks, and our little one will be here in less then 4.  Yep because the doc isn't letting me go to the full 40.  Today we had the BPP and growth ultrasound.  The BPP (I was wrong in the last post)  measures how many practice breaths, amniotic fluid, fetal tone and movement I believe are the four things in the BPP, Theodore has gotten an eight out of eight on all of his BPP's so far.  As for his growth from the last time I posted which was at about 32 weeks (4 pounds 10 ounces) he is now 6 pounds 9 ounces.  So about 2 pounds in a 4 week period.  He is at 59% so he is right where he needs to be.
Okay now some TMI for some people...The doctor also did a cervix exam today to see how things were going.  I'm 50% effaced, 1 cm dilated and Theodore is -1 in the pelvic.  So things are looking good.  Ben and I are thinking Theodore may even come sooner then the doctor thinks.  Dr. Sree also notice I'm not one to complain about pain, so she told Ben if I start complaining to bring me in.
Ben and I were thinking of going away the weekend after Labor day with some friends.  Just so I can have a mini vacation before Theodore comes.  Ben said I'm suppose to let him know ASAP when we are on the trip so if need be we can turn around and come back to the hospital.  I hope Theodore either comes before that or after.  Only God knows.
