it's getting closer....

I went in for my 36 week check up today and my doctor checked my cervix and at first she thought it was still closed, and then she said "oh no! i take it back, your at a one" Wahoo, I'm dilated to a 1!!! Also she did another ultrasound to make sure her head was down and sure enough, there was her adorable little head right where it's supposed to be, just waiting for me to put her first little bow right on top of it!
I did gain 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks, which was a bummer since i was so happy to have been keeping it off, but i'm sure it's just water weight right?!?!?! My belly is 1/2 inch smaller than it's supposed to be, but im not worried, i'm glad i'm still little and not dying to get her out. Pregnancy, especially this part of it has been fun, for the most part.
I still think she's going to come early my guess is that she will come on or before April 8th. I won't get my hopes up though, I'm not getting induced or stripping membranes or anything, I'm going to let this little girl come when she's ready, it's exciting not knowing her birth date.
Thanks Charlene for the tip, I haven't gotten any stretch marks yet, so I will definitely lube up! how sad to go the whole pregnancy only to get them the last two weeks!
Jason is still looking for a job, but I think he has decided to do some freelance work during these hard economic times, until he finds something permanent or decides to own his own business (which is his long term goal) So he is just going to try to find companies who need a designer for just certain products they are doing and he will work from home designing for them until the projects are complete. There is a lot of pros and cons to being a freelance designer, but I'm confident he will do well at it, especially since he has a little secretary (me!) to handle a lot of the paperwork for him. :) The plus side to this is he will be able to be home with me and the baby right when she arrives, no asking for time off. :)
