36 weeks & ready

I had my 36 week appointment today- yay! I can't believe how close it's getting...
Here are some stats:

• I've gained 30 lbs total- it's been that way since my 33 week appointment, so hopefully I'm all done with the weight gain :)

• Baby weighs close to 6 pounds- he probably has another pound to add...

• Baby is about the size of a honey dew melon- & close to 18 or 19 inches long!
  

• No stretch marks - hopefully it stays that way

• I am dilated to a 1'' and 80% effaced- she felt the babies head, and said he's all ready to go! She also told me she doesn't think I'll make it to 40 weeks... But I can't have my baby before my sister Carrie, who is due a week before me- Carrie told me she'd be mad { in a jealous- I want my baby out first because I'm due first kind of a way} totally understandable.
  

• My latest cravings are fruit & ice cream- not necessarily together. I go to the grocery store and pretty much buy the whole fruit section. Today I came home with; a pineapple, and cantaloupe, strawberries, bananas, apples, pears, raspberries and blackberries- I mean seriously, that's a little ridiculous, I'm not even sure we can eat that all before it goes bad. But it all looked so yummy- and wanted me to buy it. So I did. I decided I shouldn't buy ice cream today though, {since Brett & I go through a half gallon in 2 days}- so at least I'm showing some self control... although I don't think I can go the rest of the week without ice cream so I'm sure I'll find a way to get some...

Well, that's the latest update! It's just nice knowing that my body is making some progress on getting this baby out- and it's making the fact that we are going to be parents so much more real!!- yikes!!
