37 Week Visit

Unfortunately I was disappointed to find out at the doctor's today that she would not be doing an internal exam. I really wanted to see if I was dilated at all because I'm sure I am! She told me that she could have done the exam, told me I was dilated, and then I'd be all excited and still have to wait around for another week or two before anything happened. So I'm hoping when I go back on Tuesday they will do one then!

Anyway, I told Dr. Levat that I have been feeling a little crampy for the past few days and I still have a lot of pressure all the time. She said that's great because it sounds like things are starting to progress. We listened to the heartbeat which she said sounded great and then she did a quick 2 second ultrasound to make sure the head was in the correct position. It is! I saw it tucked way down there!

Now it's just more of a waiting game. I'm so ready for this baby to be here! We go on Saturday to have the car seat installed and we've been checking out some new cars for me. I'm the only person who wants to go out and buy an SUV right now, but I really want one! Hopefully by this time next week the Honda will be gone and I'll have my new car. If you know anyone that wants to buy a Civic, let us know!

Time to go back to the couch...I'm trying to get all of my sleep in now before the baby comes! :)
