36 Weeks

Well, here I am just 4 weeks from my due date.  I can't believe we are already here, with talks of head down, dialation, and all that other fun stuff!

I had a doctor's appointment today and they checked me.  I am only at a 1 but he is head down and "engaged"...whatever that means.  I asked her if saying those things meant she thought I would deliver early and she said no, it's all right on schedule for now.

 

 She did decide to do a sono today because I am measuring small...for the first time in.my.life!!!  I have to say I was a bit flattered at first- haha!  No, really, I know that isn't necessarily a good thing, so I was glad she was on the ball and did the sono.  Turns out that everything is completely normal, healthy, and fine.  She said I must just be hiding that baby in there somewhere.  His head is measuring really big (familial curse, haha) and he is already weighing around 6 lbs.  This means he would be around 8-9 lbs at birth.  Just like Miss Brinley.  She said I have a "proven pelvis" so that size doesn't concern her but we will just keep an eye on him.  Woo hoo!  Everything is just about ready for his arrival, so I am feeling good.  Here is the finished quilt.  I also did a bed skirt, but you will just have to wait for the nursery post to see it all together. 

I also whipped out his birthday banner last night.  I was too lazy to go in and flip the pic, so you will just have to crane your neck to see it correctly.  I love the way it turned out!  I know that I am in nesting mode because I have been super productive lately.  They should really try to bottle these hormones and sell them, nesting is a supernatural and amazing thing.  In the midst of feeling tired and uncomfortable, you can get so much done! 

Physically I am feeling better now that the weather has cooled down a bit and I can have time to relax a little with the nursery done.  Not as many sweaty episodes. :0)  I can tell he is head down because I have the "sharp, make you drop to your knees" pains in my groin every now and then and I have to pee all the time.  It's all worth it though, to know that this little guy is cooking away, hiding from everyone for a few more weeks!
