Doctor Appointment

Dear Munchkin,
Yesterday your Daddy and I went to see the doctor. Hopefully it will be my last office visit, but I am trying not to get ahead of myself. I have been experiencing some pelvic pressure in the past few days, so I was anxious to be examined. I wanted to know if there was anything "going on" with you. Of course, I had an NST test and everything looked good. It took a little longer than normal since you are running out of room to twirl around in. I saw the mid-wife, Tanya, who is super awesome. I really like her a lot and she made me feel totally comfortable. I have been feeling a little crazy these days and she seemed to really understand where I was coming from. It turns out that I am dilated 1 cm which means that the labor process is beginning. It doesn't mean much, since you can walk around slightly dilated for a long time, but at least my body is starting to get some signals that the time is near. I am also having random contractions throughout day which are starting to be a little painful. They don't have a real pattern or intensity yet, so I am not too concerned. I believe that I will make it through until Monday without any problem. Tanya explained what might happen next week in great detail. As of right now, I am feeling very positive and optimistic that you will be making your debut sometime early next week. She also explained that the induction process can take a while, so we should be aware that will be a long day on Monday. I can't believe it's already Wednesday and I still have so much to do. Tomorrow marks 36 weeks and you will be considered a full term baby. Wow. Your Daddy and I are so excited to meet you, we are nearly beside ourselves. Speaking of you, I need to run off to pack the hospital bag so I can cross another thing off my baby-might-coming-soon list!
I love you,
Mom
