Q: 36 Weeks And 3 Day Appt.

Well, I went to see my midwife today. I am 36 weeks and 3 days along, she did the cultures thing that Group B stuff. It wasn't too bad. My other midwife has started checking my cervix to see if im dialating but my midwife today didnt and I forgot. Oops. I have 3 different midwives.

Anyway, my little man is definantly in the head down position she said, just waiting around. I gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks and I go back next thursday. My brother is coming home next weekend and I know I won't be full term yet, but he won't be premature and it would be neat if my brother could see him before he has to go back to where he lives.

I have actually felt better today than I have in a LONG time. I have more energy, I actually felt like going shopping with my mom to get him a cute outfit to wear home from the hospital. We went to Babies R Us, they have cute stuff.

Well the energy buzz didn't last long. We have decided on 3 different names and we are going to wait and see what he looks like to pick one. It's between Colton, Grady, Eli.

Thanks everyone for being so supportive. I have a feeling labor is coming soon. I have been having period like cramps for 2 days now that come and go and my breast have started leaking and hurting.
