Here we are, full term tomorrow. I know I keep saying this but holy cow! I can't believe it! I mean, I can believe it b/c it's all very real; the heartburn, the lack of sleep, the ever growing belly, etc. But wow, our little girl will be full term tomorrow!
I had a doctor's appointment on Monday and it went well. I opted not to have an internal done b/c last week I was not even starting to dialate and I didn't want to be disappointed if nothing had changed in a week. My doctor measured how big the belly was and again said I am "average" and "right on track." I am translating that as "you will not have a 10lb baby like your husband was" which makes this mama very happy! He also checked to see where her head was and said it felt very low. And I could tell from where he said her head was that she had definitely dropped! Now, I know this means I could still go into labor a week late, but I love that even a little progress has been made. It means that the end is near and that I won't be pregnant forever! I think next week at our 38 week appointment I'll have an internal done to see if I've started dialating. In the meantime, I will finish nesting to keep myself busy.
Sounds great! It is a good feeling to know our bodies/babies are progressing!
