Approaching the End.. (Pregnancy)

I've been planning on blogging about the things that are different this pregnancy. First of all, I think Hope has been more active than Grace was.  It literally feels like she could kick through my skin and is very active a lot of the time. She also has been known to take some blows to my ribs.. lol and have hiccups quiet a lot.  I never really remember experiencing this with Grace.  It also seems as though she has sat on my bladder a lot more.  The other thing that is definitely different is the onset of ACID REFLUX. This has just come in the last week but MAN, I have never experienced that! Thankfully, Prevacid has pretty much taken care of this. 

In the last week as pregnancy is nearing closer to the end I have also started to retain fluid mostly in my lower extremities and started having sciatica pain recently, which I did do this with Grace.  I also went to the doctor yesterday for my 35.5 week check up and found out I am now dilated to a 1 which I was surprised about and she stated I had a good amount of pressure on my cervix. She made it clear I was not ready yet but have made a little progression.

We are still hoping for Hope to make her arrival the end of this month and year!!
