~36 Weeks~

Here is baby belly week 36. Getting closer & SOOO ready! I thought I might be going into labor last night when I woke up around 3 a.m. to use the bathroom & get a drink, I went back to bed and almost immediately began having contractions. They were every 8-9 minutes and lasting for most of a minute. I couldn't fall back to sleep & kept changing positions, nothing worked. A little after 5 a.m. they finally stopped & by then I had to pee again (go figure!) but for a while I was pretty sure it was time!
I saw my midwife this morning & while nothing is going on (effacing/dilating speaking) my midwife, Janice (LOVE her!) says that I can have this baby anytime & she won't stop me. YAY! The practice has just acquired another midwife so my next appointment gets to be with her (in case I go into labor when she is on call, I'll already know her). Janice wouldn't be surprised if I have baby before then, it's a week and a half away. That is also good to know!
Anyway, still feeling good, getting to the gym 3 times a week. I'm changing my workout from the stationary bike to the Treadmill or elliptical machine, I've decided to let gravity do some of the work in getting the baby here!
