4 Weeks! Who would have thought we'd make it this far!

Crazy is what it is. 10 weeks ago we were in the hospital thinking that she may make an early appearance... now here we are at 36 weeks and she's not acting like she's going anywhere! I haven't had any contractions (that I'm aware of) and there has been no bleeding, spotting, cramping or any of those other little labor hints. She's as active as ever, too. I'm actually really surprised that she hasn't broken my floating rib yet. I'm pretty ready for her to come now. I had a doctors appointment on Tuesday and they did her sonogram. She measured right where she was supposed to... same due date :-). She weighs 6 lbs! I'm glad. If I have her now, she'll be small, and if I have her in a few weeks (unless she has a huge increase in weight) she'll be right around average. No big babies for me! The only thing I forgot was to ask about how big her head is... that's the important part. Hopefully, since she weighs about average, she'll have an average size head. My next doctors appointment is this Tuesday... I start going every week now because she's so close to coming! I'm getting really excited about seeing her. I'm actually looking forward to having contractions, because that means she's not far behind! We've seen her face in the 3D sonograms and I know she's beautiful... now I just can't wait to see her face and little hands and hold them in mine.
