35 weeks

This Sunday marks 5 weeks from my due date. I went to the doctor today and everything looked good. The baby's head is down and I'm measuring on track. I've been having more intense Braxton Hicks recently, so I asked the doctor about that. He said that I probably just need to drink more fluids. He gently reminded me, "Since you carried both your girls to full term it is highly unlikely that this baby will come early." Ooh, I needed to hear that! I'm starting to feel ready, but I need to be patient and not get too ahead of the calendar.
