Update, 36 weeks

36w3d

I just returned from the first of my now-weekly appointments with my OB. Things are looking good: Cookie is still head down, and I'm partially effaced but not dilated yet.

The belly is measuring a bit small (34 cm, when I should be around 36 cm to correspond with the number of weeks), but my doc is not too concerned as I am still showing growth between each of my appointments.

He gave me (what seemed like) a long talk about avoiding the H1N1 swine flu, and told me to call immediately if I experience any flu-like symptoms. It all seemed like common sense to me, but I guess they're very concerned about the susceptibility of the pregnant population, and they're not taking any chances.

Chris and I finished the series of childbirth/infant care classes at the hospital last night, so we're slowly but surely making all the final preparations. No news is good news at this point! :)
