Pregnancy-36 weeks

Ok, I haven't been very good at posting regularly but I can say that I have posted each month...... Things will certainly be much different once the baby arrives!!

Tuesday, I was 36 weeks! I had a doctors appointment on Monday and everything looks great! I measured out at 37 weeks and the doctor said that doesnt mean anything. Funny thing is, when I first found out I was pregnant, I went to the OB-gyn and they said my due date was September 1st. Then when I went for my first ultrasound, the said I was actually 11 weeks (not 12) and my due date was pushed to September 8th. Makes me wonder if my due date actually is September 1st?! Guess we'll find out within the next few weeks!

The doctors thought there was an issue with my blood pressure early on cause twice it was high. We have come to the conclusion that it was due to the fact that we were using a manual one! I wasn't too concerned at all because high blood pressure does not run in my family. They thought I might have been doing too much at work and were considering bed rest. I definitely would not have done very good with that! No worries though!

As far as everything else, she is growing everyday and is very active! A few nights ago, I didn't get any sleep, well maybe 2 hours. Not sure if she got any sleep either, she was moving all night! I tried getting comfortable and think she was sleeping and then she'd move. Amazing what they do! I've been consistantly getting up about everyt 2 hours to use the bathroom at night. Not fun at all considering I have to go up and down the stairs half asleep. Other than that, I have no complaints!

Micah and I are getting more and more anxious to meet our daughter. We thought for sure that we would not have a name picked or agree upon a name until the day she was born but believe it or not, we have come to the conclusion that her name will be Alaina Lynne Cour! I wasn't sold on the name at first when Micah said that was the name he liked, but the more I thought about it and said it, the more I liked it.

She has a few cousins who are excited to meet her! My nephew Jacoby, who is 17 months old, gives my belly hugs and kisses all the time and it's the sweetest thing ever. Micah's nieces, Avery and Amanda do the same thing. When it's time to say good-bye to them, the give me a hug and kiss but then they say that they need to give hugs and kisses to cousin. Kids are such a blessing and I look forward to having one of my own!

No pictures this time, sorry! I will post when my camera is back in the state!
