36 weeks!!

9 months pregnant...9 months pregnant??!!  

I can't believe we have hit the 9 month mark.  I remember at 5 weeks when we found out we were pregnant thinking 9 months was so far down the line.  It's been so much fun and exciting being pregnant; the time has flown by.  Only a few more weeks to go!

It has been a productive weekend & week.  We have washed any & everything possible, stroller is ready, the carseats are installed, birth plan is done, hospital bags are packed and we are ready to go!  The nesting is in full swing and I can't sit still.  So I was a VERY happy girl when Pottery Barn called and said our dresser will be delivered on Monday!  Finally our last piece of furniture for his room will be here.   

We had our 36 week checkup today and we are excited to say...we are already 1cm dilated!!  My jaw hit the ground when Dr. Walker told me that.  She said this doesn't really give us a time frame- it could be this weekend or it could be another 3 weeks. I've thought he would come early, but not sure I was expecting to already be at 1cm.  His head is still at about -2 or -3, so he still has a ways to drop, but we are sort of happy about this, because the little guy still needs to flip back to the head down position.  Dr. Walker said she will give him one more week, and then she might have to flip him back herself.  We go back on Wed and will do a sonogram to figure out exactly where he is.  We will also find out roughly how big he is.  According to all sources, he is about 6-6.5 lbs.  Dr. Walker said this sounds about right; I'm just praying he's not already 8lbs since he's gaining 1/2 a pound each week.  So needless to say, for the next 6 days we will be playing the belly buds, doing the flashlight trick and doing some handstands :)

Hope everyone has a great week!
