Well I had my 36 week appointment and to my shock and dismay I am dialated 1cm and 60% effaced. I expected to have some dialation but really didn't think there would be much if any effacement. Of course since this is my first I could stay at this stage until my due date or could go into labor before. I am thinking that I won't make it to the 23 of February though and neither dose my DH. He was just telling me yesterday that he thought it would be sooner as I have changed emotionally over the last week and that you can definitely tell that our little girl has dropped.
This is so exciting and scary at the same time. I am so anxious to hold our little girl but at the same time I love being pregnant (minus not being able to move that well) ;-)

36 Weeks, Wow!
Well, I will be 36 weeks tomorrow and start weekly doctor appointments....9 months pregnant, YAY! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has been going. Our little girl is doing great and moving around quite a bit, at times it feels like she is going to come out through my belly button or lower abdomen. It can be quite comical to watch my belly do all kinds of different movements.
Things have been going well, I have had all my showers now and pretty much have everything that we absolutely have to have for her. I still don't have a swing but figure that is something that we can get a little later. I need to get some more books for her and some toys, we only have a few rattles and two books right now. We have quite a few onesies and footed sleepers so I think we are good there. I have a diaper bag now but am not quite sure what to pack in it, I have some diapers and diaper ointment in there but that's it so far, any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am not so sure that this little girl will wait to arrive until February 23 either. I have been having some pre-labor symptoms. She has dropped, I am starting to nest, I can't stand or walk for an extended period of time without my groin killing me (sharp shooting pains that make me want to fall to the floor), and some BH contractions. Of course as this is our first baby I have know idea about when she will be here could be that I go past my due date too.
Hope all is well with everyone.
