39 week update

Had my 39 week appointment today.

BP: 112/60 (I am one relaxed mama!)
Weight: 182

Baby's heartbeat was OK. Baby girl has been very quiet yesterday and today. So much so that I'm actually doing kick counts to ensure that she is moving enough. Could she be resting up for her big entry?? Stay tuned.

Also, just an update from yesterday. I met with my doula again as well as another doula who will be assisting/providing back up. She had her son using hypnobirthing and just seems like a really fun person. She is also a lactation consultant, which will be awesome, since I have 2 postpartum meetings with them.

I am feeling really good. All of the pain and discomfort I was feeling a few weeks ago has vanished-aside from a very itchy belly (skin is only meant to stretch so much, ya know?--of course I would get stretch marks the LAST WEEK of my pregnancy. Seriously....)

We have some fun plans with Mini Me this weekend, but come Sunday afternoon, all bets are off. I am hoping praying to be holding this little girl in my arms come Monday. Not sure why, but Sunday/Monday is feeling like "it". But, then again....she's probably inherited the "stubborn" gene from, well, let's face it, both her parents.

My midwife did warn me today that should I not be in labor before then, they will be doing an ultrasound and NST on Oct. 9th to decide how/when to proceed with the baby's eviction. So, everyone, please say a little prayer that it does not get that far. Please. Thank You.
