D-20: Let the Countdown Begin!

So you know how kids love to ask the question, "are we there yet?" well I have been asking myself a similar question as of late, "is it over yet?" I know I shouldn't complain because my first 35 weeks were wwwwwaaaayyyyy too easy from what I have heard of other peoples pregnancies. But honestly, I just want it to be over with! The heartburn (which I always seem to have) the headaches, the horrible sleep, the kicks I get in my ribs, etc...they are all starting to wear me down.

So that's all the complaining that I will do...in this post, anyway. As for other news, everything still looks good! Today at my Dr appointment my blood pressure was the best it's ever been, at least while at the Dr office, it was 108/73. The doctor's really happy with that number and sometimes I think to myself that had it been higher maybe, just maybe, he would decide to induce me to avoid the risk of it increasing. But 108/73 is definitely not a number he is concerned about. During today's ultrasound he commented on how "high up" she is and I laughed and told him that my ribs could have told him that. Then I asked him if that meant that she was really long or just that she hadn't dropped yet, his only reply was to say that it could mean many things. I love the way he gives me his sarcastic answers. Which reminds me of a story that B loves: Last month B ended up having a day off on the day that I went to the Dr so he got to go with me. Well there was a patient talking to Dr in the hallway asking very nonchalantly if her baby was big or not. And the Dr. says, "yes, it's monstrous." B found this hilarious and still gets a huge laugh out of it. So yeah, he's not the type to give serious answers (unless there's something to worry about). So next week I have my final "detailed" ultrasound which he will check on her growth. I emphasize detailed because the ultrasounds that I have on a weekly basis now aren't really detailed and only used for checking my amniotic fluid. I will also have another NST and he'll check my cervix again...hopefully it's more than ½cm by that point. I told him that I'm ready any time with the exception of next Tuesday, which is my birthday, and call me selfish but I really don't wanna share my birthday! So until I have more to add...see ya later.
