36 weeks

36 weeks

Well, as of Tuesday I am 36 weeks along. Everything still looks good. My doc still says Benjamin should be between 7 and 7 1/2 lbs. I have lost my mucous plug I am 1 cm dilated, which doesn't mean I'll be going into labor soon (you can be dilated for weeks before you deliver) but it does mean that my boy is making progress and getting into position to do what God has created him to do. it's like Jonathan said, even though you know that eventually the doctor will tell you you're starting to dilate, hearing the words is both exciting and surreal. Benjamin's head is VERY low--my doc was able to touch the top of his head. He has still been pretty active, but I can tell he's running out of room, because when I sit down he puts his feet against my ribs and just pushes. Anyway, everything's just a waiting game now, so I'll keep updating as new things happen.
