Went to the doctor today and she checked me and I am officially 1cm dilated and about 70% effaced!!
Woo hoo, I was so excited and it's hopefully perfect timing. We did talk about possibly inducing me so that she can come when Scott is off from academy, but first she is going to scratch/stretch (don't remember which one) my cervix to see if that helps bring her more naturally. Which I would really love for her to come naturally vs inducing me but I also want her here the same time Scott does so he is less stressed :)
She said her head was really far down. She even was like wow you must be going to the bathroom all the time. Haha which some days is true. Sometimes I go to the restroom, then go to do something and feel like I have to go again already.
I'll let you know how Monday goes. It's my birthday too, I tell you kids really do steal the show because my birthday totally snuck up on me with all her excitement

Doctor update
Scott and I went to our ultrasound today. Probably the last one till she get's here!
She is about 6.5 pounds which the ultrasound tech said is a tad bit smaller than normal, but nothing to be concerned about. She thought my fluids might have been low at first but when she checked it, she said there was plenty.
I thought for sure she would have a full head of hair, but when she looked, it was just little peach fuzz as of now.
My doctor checked to see if I was dilated, and I still am not. She is listening to her father, who tells her not to come yet.
I got a shot today for the whooping cough. They use to not do it until after the baby is born, but they now do it before the baby is born to keep the baby catching it from me.
I can't think of much else, other than that so far everything is healthy!
Another appointment scheduled for next week Thursday! I'll be 38 weeks then, it's going by so fast and so slow at the same time!

35 weeks
How far along: 35 weeks 3 days
Weight gain: About 40 lbs
Maternity clothes: Yep.
Wedding ring on or off: Off. Scott got it cleaned for me, so when he brought it home, I put it on my finger and it went to about my knuckle.
Belly button in or out: Out
Sleep: Just waking up a lot to go to the bathroom and getting out of bed is difficult.
Best moment this week: My doc apt and hearing her heartbeat again. Such a beautiful sound :)
Movement: All the time!
Cravings: We have been buying strawberries, blackberries and raspberries, we cut them up and put them in a large bowl in the fridge. I always end up eating the whole thing in like two days. SO GOOD!
Queasy or sick: Nope
Looking forward to: getting to meet her! Every tells me they think I will go early.

Doc update
I went to the doctors yesterday. I am now going to start going weekly! Can't believe how fast it is going by. I may kinda miss being pregnant. When she comes in to this world, I will have to share her. :) but I am also excited for her to meet the world and the world to meet her.
My doctor said I was measuring great. She listened to the heartbeat and said it sounded beautiful. She checked to see if I was dilated at all and luckily I am not! Scott is very set on her coming between June 4-8th, I keep reminding him that she may come early and to prepare for that. And he responds with "Do her hear that Brooklyn, JUNE 4-8TH!"
I think I am finally starting to feel Braxton Hicks contractions.
Her room is coming together. I have started washing her clothes and got up to three months washed, all her bedding and blankets and then her burp rags, bibs, socks, wash cloths, and towels!

Where's Brooklyn?
About every other day this happens where I look down and the right side of my stomach is huge and the left is flat. I even feel like this picture doesn't do near as much justice as in person!
