9 months!!

I have officially hit the last leg of the race! I'm 36 weeks and into my 9th month of pregnancy. It is crazy to think about and I have been filled with an abundance of different emotions. One day I will cry because I'm so excited, and another I'll cry because I am overwhelmed at the thought of what lies ahead. Overall I am really looking forward to her finally being here, I just want her to be healthy and I think that's what scares me the most. It's one thing to go through a perfectly normal pregnancy and a whole other thing to go through the birthing process. One can only hope that everything turns out as it should. I am such a worrier and a planner that I can't help but think about these things constantly! With all that said I did have my 36 week appt and that went really well. He did the usual measuring and checking her heartbeat. I am still measuring small, but I grow from appt to appt so he's not concerned. I keep asking him if it's something to worry about and he keeps telling me to feel lucky! Then he checked her position and couldn't tell by feel right away so we got a very quick little peak at her on the ultrasound machine! We saw the back of her head, her back and her little legs. She is finally head down with her body on my right, her bum up by my ribs and her feet curling over to my left. Hence why I feel a lot of kicks on my left. Last he checked me for dilation and said "It's not time yet". Which means I am closed tight. Things could rapidly progress but for now she's staying in! I just want her to stay in at least until next Tuesday when Lori arrives. I just fear I will go over because she seems so happy and content in there! Let's hope she knows what to do and will make her way out. I go back to the doctor in a week and we'll see if I've made any progress by then. That's all for now, until next week!
