37 week appt

I am one week closer and I can't believe it! It's amazing how quickly time is going by, we will soon be parents and that is just a mind boggling thought! I had my 37 week check-up and brought my mom this time because Braden couldn't sneak away from work. Things went ok, but for the first time this entire pregnancy I got some unsettling news. Nothing that is an emergency type situation, but just something to be concerned about. I have been measuring small this entire pregnancy, but I have always grown from appointment to appointment so he hasn't been overlly concerned. He says it's because it's my first, my body type, and muscle tone that are to blame. Well, I haven't been growing since about week 34 so now he is a little concerned that she isn't growing properly. I have an ultrasound on Tuesday to get her estimated weight and he said that they would talk delivery options after reviewing the results. I'm not panicked about it, but I am a little worried. I'm hoping that she is ok and that she will just be a petite little baby. He said a couple of things that could be throwing off my measurement is how far she is in my pelvis (which I'm definitely feeling!) and that I just hide her well. So as a precautionary measure we are doing the ultrasound. My mom was able to see a brief little ultrasound of her at my appt, it wasn't as quality of a picture as the one on Tuesday will be but she was excited to see her. We saw her chin and her lips and her body which fills up my whole abdomen now! It's amazing to see the changes from the last time! He also checked me again this week and I've actually made progress. I am 1 cm dilated and 60% effaced (how thin/thick my cervix is. The thinner the better) and ever since the appt on Friday I have been feeling more contractions and more pressure. I think her time of arrival is fast approaching. I just think my timer is almost up! One thing I do know for sure is he doesn't let women go past their due dates so I know Lori will be here for the birth for sure. She could actually be here within a matter of days depending on how Tuesday goes! I just have a couple last minute things to do but for the most part I am ready! I will post a picture once I take one and I will also update on Tuesday!
