36 week appointment: What the heck?

A couple "what the hecks?":

-- I have lost two pounds since Thursday, making total weight gain now at 22 lbs. What the heck? Bring back the Dairy Queen, stat!

-- I had a dream last night that Sienna was born weighing in at 13.5 lbs, and was 15.5 inches long (both very, very strange measurments for a newborn). Even more strange, she came out with long jet-black hair, and was speaking Spanish. She looked at me, wide-eyed and said, "Yo quiero ir home" (I want to go home). What the heck?

Other items of note:

-- Her head is still at station -1.

-- I am 80% effaced, not dialated, but according to the doctor "wanting to dialate".

-- On the dinosaur ultrasound machine, she still had her legs closed (modest soul), but we pray believing she is STILL a girl. She also had a full bladder. Why do us girls always insist on holding it?

-- We could see she has HAIR! Yay!

Over the last couple of days, I have fallen more and more in love with this little creature. I cannot wait to meet her, to hug her, to hold her, and to smother her with kisses.

And this Saturday is my baby shower!!!!!!!

Gotta love the pregnancy dreams:) My daughter is hoping her sister is dark complected with red hair, but not as long as hers! (LOL! her's is really long!).

    Ha ha, LOL! I love your dream about the baby...but I would not want to birth that size of one. =) Have fun at your shower! If it is the same as mine, people LOVE to give cute girl clothes.
