Appointment Update

At this point, most babies would be curled up in a ball or the "fetal" position... NOT MINE! As the ultrasound tech would say, "Your baby sure loves to stretch out!" With the feet in my ribs, the butt at my belly button, and the head getting lower and lower. The increasing pressure I've been feeling lately is the baby descending and turning. The past few weeks we have been able to get some full-face shots because the baby was laying face-up. Not anymore! The baby has now gotten into the birthing position, with the head low and facing my back. (So, no photos today.)

I can feel how low the head has gotten, and that would explain the more frequent trips to the bathroom! We are in the home stretch now. I haven't dilated any further, but that doesn't mean much at this point. With the way my family gives birth, it could happen in the next few hours! I'm not feeling that though! I will say this... I am starting to second-guess my first due date prediction (originally the 22nd). I don't think the little booger will hold that long! It seems like s/he's ready to go!!!
