36 weeks.

i've been dying to update...so here will be the last post before the blog is officially set to private.

i visited with my ob-gyn on tuesday and must say, had some good laughs with him. it's hard to believe i am 36 weeks along. when i think back, it's been 30 weeks since i found out i was pregnant. where does the time fly to??

anyhow, back to the appointment, the doctor says i look ready to pop (which made me giggle in agreement) and proceeded to massage my tummy to get a good idea of what and how baby is doing. she is definitely in the "head-down" position, ready for her big debut. he made me laugh as he said, your baby is BIG (in which i laughed and told him "you don't have to tell me that twice, try carrying her!!) and he estimates that she is about 7 lbs at the moment. yes, i almost fell off the table at this point as well! i then asked him how big babies are generally at the 36 week mark. he kinda laughed and said, "well i'm not going to lie to you, babies at 36 weeks are about 6 lbs." i almost choked. YIKES! he then proceeded with "hopefully you have the pelvis to get her out!" i almost had an anxiety attack right then and there!

he then gave me instructions of what to do if i happen to go into labor/have more frequent contractions and told me that he wants to try and keep her in a few more days....after that, she's fair game to come out and play! he then gave me a wink and said, "ok hopefully i'll see you in two weeks...if you make it there!"

i can't tell you how fast this has all gone by! 27 days til her official due date...i remember when the countdown was still WAY above 200!! i find the two of us getting VERY anxious and excited about her impending delivery and always get a little giggle when i moan and groan and the husband excitedly says "what? are you ok? do we need to go to the hospital?" i think i get asked if i need to go to the hospital at least 10 times a day...it cracks me up. he is so amazing. so we are reaching the end of the road and this new journey of parenthood is sure to be amazing.
