Today Mom and I went for our 36 week appointment. This is the first appointment that Dad was not able to attend so the doctor missed him. Dad has been faithful and attended EVERY appointment with us so far. Today, was probably a good day for Dad not to attend though. The doctor did the usual check of the heartbeat and pelvic exam but there were some changes with the exam today. The doctor explained to Mom that her cervix has thinned a lot and this is a good sign that she may begin dilating soon. A bit scary though. Mom understands that dilating can take forever. The big question everyone keeps asking her is "are you ready to be done being pregnant?". Well Mom is definitely getting to that point. With the "full term" point hitting next week, it will probably get tougher. Mom is at the point where her sleep is so disrupted by FREQUENT nightly "bathroom breaks" and no comfortable sleeping position. The best part of the end drawing nearer is that Mom will not have to see this darn exam table as much! All in all, everything checked out and the doctor said that my head is facing down and has moved lower. I am making my move!

How exciting! Only a few weeks left!!!!
You're in the home stretch now! I bet you won't even make it to your due date. I walked around 2 cm dilated with DJ for a month!
Every appointment- dad sounds like my husband. It's getting close to D day and we can hardly wait.
Both of our boys arrived during the 37th week...so get that bag packed, paint your toenails, enjoy one more dinner out with your husband, and be ready! :) We'll send good wishes for some restful sleep...I know how hard that can be.
