Oh happy day!!!

They moved my due date up 2 whole weeks today!!! Seriously how freaking cool is that, so now I'm 35.5 weeks. Which means I only have to push it 10 more days to get her to full term. Plus my little girl is already 5lbs. 5 oz. I feel physically horrible, but mentally I can't even tell you how big of a relief it is to know that she is over 5 lbs and to know that in 10 days she will technically be full term. I can do 10 days. I go in again on the 6th and if my blood pressure is still going up as much as it did today, I bet they set a date for later that week or the first of next week. Holy crap-that is so soon. My doctor did put me on "bedrest", but gave me the ok to still work. So basically I get to work and then be on bedrest the rest of the night, meaning I don't get to do one dang thing for the next week, just so I can buy her a little more time. I can't even tell you how much better I feel mentally, just to know that she is over 5 lbs. That's sort of the magic NICU number and usually ultrasounds are on the smaller side, so I'm betting by next week she will be over 6lbs. Alexis was only 5lbs. 9oz, so I guess Justin was right, she's going to be a big baby-she should be with how big I feel.
