36 Week Appointment

I was so excited for my appointment this morning, aside from having to stand on the scale. That part is always stressful. Just as I predicted, my weight is headed right where it was for the other two. Which is fine. I guess. :)

Anyway, my excitement turned to disappointment when my nurse practitioner informed me they don't start cervical checks until 37 weeks. Argh. So I have to wait another week to find out if/how much I've dilated. I suppose it doesn't really matter, but I'm still very curious. She was, however, able to tell me that yes, the baby has dropped, and he is head down and all lined up to come out. So that's all good news. I suppose knowing he's head down is more important than knowing if I've had any cervical changes at this point.

What else? This kid's heartbeat is STILL in the 160's! Dominic's was always in the 120's and Clark's ranged from the 130's to 140's.  

Well, back to sitting around and waiting for something to happen!
