35 Week Appointment :
* All is going well with me and baby (not sure on his name yet??).... heartbeat good, kicking and active!
* Weight gain - only 1 lbs. YAY!!! Thank goodness! 34 lbs. overall. I've given up my candy bar a night for a grapefruit with brown sugar(I've still gotta have the sweetness) on it instead....YUM!
* Donnie came with to my appt., and was a perfect little gentleman. He talked to the nurses and the receptionist as if they'd known him forever. Then he sat in the room eating his goldfish as Dr. Farhat measured and listened to the heartbeat. He really is such a good boy when I take him out with me to run errands or go to appts., it makes me proud! I won't get into the few times at Target when we've had to leave early...LOL!! (who doesn't have their bad days, right!)
* Oh!!...I might be induced.....if I'm dilated to 1 cm. or more by my 38th or 39th week. I asked about it only because I had Dr. Farhat deliver Donnie and I just love him, I feel comfortable and safe with him...so, I inquired about how he might be able to deliver me & he said if I came in for one of those appointments and I was dilated that he would induce me when he was on call. He did also tell me that he would do that because my first labor was very fast (4 hours) & this one will most likely be quicker than that, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to already be at the Hospital....Eeeek!! I won't be going to far away toward the very end....I wanna make sure, I'm close by so, if I choose, I can get that wonderful epidural I've heard so much about!! I want to be positive I'll be able to get it this time...LOL!!
* A little extra sappy and hormonal lately, not really feeling myself. I'm hoping this is all part of nearing the end of my pregnancy and not a sign of anything else! After Donnie I was hit with the dreaded post-partum depression & boy that scares me with this one. I'm sure this too will pass...too many hormones, 34 extra lbs. of weight I'm carrying, and running after a toddler all day... could possibly be the cause for some of these extra emotion/ fatigue I'm feeling.?
** Anyway's that's about it for the pregnancy update!**

Wow - you're just about there! I can't believe it! Good look with the last few weeks...enjoy it as best you can!
Is that all you have left??? Oh my gosh! Crazy. I think that's good Dr. F. will induce you. I would want my orig. doctor, too.
Oooh, its getting closer!!! I bet you are EXCITED! if you need any help or anything, let me know...id love to hang out with donnie!
Yay for only 1lb! I go in tomorrow morning... eeek... after a weekend in Chicago! Yikes.
I'm jealous that your doc has already said he'd induce. I'm hoping hoping hoping that I don't go past 39 weeks. I'm really rooting for 38 LOL! I am So. Ready. To. Be. Done.
I was going to give you a call today but never had the chance. Are you still planning on going to Kids N Stuff on Weds?
Almost there Katie! It sucks at the end but if you think about it- you have a full grown human in there! How cool are you?
