Two Weeks, To Go!

I went to the Doctor, Monday. This is the first "exam" performed in, oh... about 8 months. Who wouldn't be interested in what is going on in there!? Okay... that may be too much TMI, I was excited about my appointment! There. He felt my belly and listened to her ever strong heartbeat. He could tell by her positioning that she was curled up on the left side of my tummy. I already knew that because I had looked like a strange lopsided kidney bean for about a week. He said he thought she was "head down" but would check to be sure! Yay! The check!


The anticipation built while he completed the Group B Strep Test (basically bacteria that can be passed during delivery) and... his exact words, "there's nothing!" Nothing?! First of all, I know there's a baby or this has been some sick joke! Secondly, can I get a little more information? I asked what his definition of nothing was, not dilated? He gave a quick nod and informed me she wasn't coming anytime soon and he would check in another two weeks! Two WEEKS? This looming due date is two weeks and four days away! I'll have to devot an entire seperate post to the mysterious, chalant demeanor of my wonderful doctor. Let's just say he's not real forthcoming. I have another appointment Monday, not really sure of its point other than, yeah... she's still in there.

Fast forward four days later: Today I did some grocery shopping and picked up the Pack n' Play I ordered from the Walmart site. I really wish I had more information, like an exact date of her birth! It would really help me plan! I'm trying to remain as comfortable as possible, it isn't terribly difficult. I've been stretching when I feel pain and have been enjoying grabbing little feet that stick up. Here's a picture of me at Walmart today to mark the fact that I actually have something the size of a watermelon inside me!
