We hit 37 weeks or term (technically early term) on Saturday! That means our girl is basically ready to breathe outside the womb. How crazy is that?! I celebrated by jumping on a big trampoline. Totally not safe, but I was careful and everything was fine. It actually felt amazing!
My doctor appointments are now weekly. At my 36 week appointment my doctor told me that I was 1.5 cm dilated and that the baby was head down and starting to drop. She doesn't think I'll deliver in week 37 or 38, but she also doesn't think I'll go past my due date. However, at my 37 week appointment there was no real change, despite my trampoline time, so I guess we'll see.
I am definitely feeling like my body is too small for this big baby, so I hope my doctor is right and that I won't go past my due date. I have some seriously tender ribs right now! Lee and I have been working hard finishing up various tasks around house. We're feeling ready and a little impatient. We even have our hospital bags packed and ready to go.
We received our maternity photos from our wonderful photographer last week. She'll be doing the newborn photos of our girl too! Here's a few of our favorites:
Oh my goodness baby girl is going to be here so soon... thinking about you often and praying for a great birthing! And... hope the humidity gives you some breaks :) Love you guys!
