Well, while I can say I've been blessed with a really nice pregnancy overall, I am definitely ready to meet this little guy. My Type A personality has reached it "I can handle not being in control of everything" limit! :) Well, maybe it hasn't completely reached it's limit, but it's getting awfully close!
Overall though, everything is progressing along just fine; I had an appointment today and all looks well. As of a week ago, I was 1 centimeter dilated and 50% effaced; my doctor didn't check any of that today, but he did tell me that he doesn't think it'll be much longer. My weight gain has been very small these last couple of weeks (just like with both Olivia and Grace) and to quote him, "I'm pretty full" - not a lot of room left - although I am still only measuring at 36 weeks. He also said the baby's sitting very low. I told him my sister-in-law had had a dream that the baby would be born on Thursday (October 24th), and he said that was certainly a possibility! And, if not then, he said perhaps this weekend...better not get my hopes up though...I'll probably end up being over-due! Well, actually I know that won't happen because he also said he would like to induce if I do make it to 40 weeks - fine with me! In other news, when I asked how big he thought the baby was, he said he was expecting him to be in the mid-7 pound range. Lots of braxton hicks going on these days along with lots of trips to the bathroom. Nights have been a little tough; I've been pretty restless - but we'll just call all this good baby prep.
The baby's room is all ready to go - I should probably take some pictures! Two weekends ago I had Brian all nervous because I washed all the baby clothes and just generally finished all that baby prep stuff up - he asked me if I was "nesting." I laughed to hear him use that term. My friends have enjoyed giving Brian a hard time about buying me a "push present." Honestly - who makes this stuff up! Anyways, they've been telling him that since he's 2 kids behind in this arena, I better get something nice. Ha! Nah, we just think it's a pretty silly term and like to watch our husbands get all bent out of shape about it! All in all, I'm just feeling ready (and I think everyone else in the family is too!)!
You look great! I am so anxious to hear that he is safely here:) I love how nervous/excited the guys get at the end. Every time I made a funny face in the last month, Dave was grabbing his keys...:) Enjoy your last days of pregnancy!
