Getting Close!!!!

Well yesterday was my 37 week (actually, 37.5 week) appointment with the doctor, and Nick and I were hoping that they would do an ultrasound so we could see Emma again. I figured they would becasue I don't think I have really changed in size or anything in the last week. However, we got in there and I was measuring at 38 weeks, a little ahead of where I am, so they didn't go ahead and do an ultrasound. Doctor said that the baby must have had a growth spurt :) We were both kind of dissappointed that they didn't do an ultrasound, but are also glad that she's growing and measuring where she should :)

However, not getting to see Emma on ultrasound was made up by the fact of what the doctor said about the progress I and the baby are making. The doctor did her usual exam and said that I am almost 2 cm dilated, 90% effaced, and that she could feel the baby's head!!!!! I couldn't believe it and she said that she didn't know if we would make it to our next appointment next Wednesday :) Yesterday I had a lot of BH contractions but nothing "real". Nick is saying that I'll go into labor this weekend and I'm betting on the middle of next week :) So today I went to the mall and walked around for an hour or so, hoping to get some contractions started, but all I got were BH. I know that she'll come when she's ready, but we're so excited to meet her! Been having some back pain lately and so we'll see if anything happens today, although I doubt it! Will blog when there's any news to tell :) Keep your fingers crossed that things get going soon for us and that Nick is home with me when they do!
