Term baby.............wow

Ok it's official I have carried this baby to term...which means....dear little sweetheart, you can come whenever your ready....the sooner the better! mommy is getting impatient.
Last Friday I went in to the perinatologist and the tech discovered that the baby is once again almost in position, her head is still a little to the side, digging into my hip bone, but a few contractions should knock her into place! She's measuring about 6lbs...and all looks good, fluid is at a steady 9.0 which is perfect for this stage...
Over the weekend I was very achy and had quite a few contractions, but that's about it.
Today I went in for my regular appointment, BP was fine, I tested Negative for the Group B strep test, so no need for antibiotics during labor...wooo hooo.
I also did not gain any weight, so I"m at +12 for the pregnancy and doubt I will gain any more...unless I go on a major eating spree...which is unlikely since my stomach is squished beyond belief...
I discussed tube tying with my doc if I end up with a c-section, if not, DH will get snipped after she's born. Next week at 38 weeks the doc will start checking me for progress, and then we'll take it from there....can't believe the pregnancy is finally coming to an end....but I must admit I can't wait.

Yay! I can't wait to see pics of her and to find out her name!!! I'm so glad you made it to term. Have you had all the kids naturally or have you had a c-section before?
