36 weeks

At 36 weeks I am starting to feel anxious. I am still excited, but I am starting to have dreams of labor and delivery and I wake up in a panic! I remember when I first met Dr. Bartley and she told me she would see me every month and then at the very end once a week. I thought, oh that is so far away! Well I started my weekly visits this week and all I could think of was “am I really to that point that I could have her any minute now?” She started my exam and tested me for strep to see if I would need antibiotics during delivery and then she checked me to see if I was dilated. I was already 1.5 cm! I couldn’t believe it. she told me that it didn’t mean anything and to not get excited, but I at least I am doing something right! I also had two wonderful showers this weekend. Friday my co-workers gave me a shower and I got lots of goodies, then Saturday my best friends gave me a shower and it was wonderful! They went all out for me and I was so excited! They made it Minnie Mouse themed and had the cutest cake, yummy food, and I had probably 10 ladies show up. The girls did so much for me and I couldn’t appreciate it more!
