Getting Really Close...

We had our doctors appointment and ultrasound this morning. Last night I started to have very sharp pains, and LOTS of pressure. I really thought I might be going into Labor last night. I have had a lot of pressure, but I knew it was because she said the baby had dropped. It is very uncomfortable and hurts.

First we had the ultrasound. The tech checked everything out, and she is measuring about a week ahead. She was measuring 37 weeks and 4 days. She was in the 70% for weight at 6.91 pounds. That means if I carry her till the 21st she could be 9 pounds or over! I have to say that I hope that she is not over 9 pounds...especially if my cell count goes down anymore and I can not have an epidural. That would make for a not so fun delivery for me! I am suppose to have the results to my blood test by Friday. They may induce earlier if my cell count is down again. The tech showed us all of her features. She also said she has a FULL head of hair. I am fully convinced this comes from Dustin's side. My side has always had bald babies. I also think her nose looks like Dustin's. In the ultrasound she kept grabbing her foot with her hands...so cute! I am SO excited to meet her!

I had my doctors appointment following the ultrasound. I told her about all the pain I was having the night before. She then proceeded to tell me that the baby has fully dropped. The pain I was having the night before was from her dropping. She said that i have not dilated, but the baby is as low as she can possibly go with out coming out in labor. Since she is so low they went ahead and gave me all my paperwork to check into the hospital. She said that it could possibly be any day, or she may stick around till we induce. My sister was the same way with her first. Ryder had dropped, and she did not start dilating till she was in active labor. I now just have to live with a constant pain till Miss Kaylee makes her appearance. Talk about a pregnant waddle, I have the biggest one you seen! Dustin was suppose to leave for Reagan's bachelor party on Friday. Since we are not sure when I will go into labor, and it could be sooner than later we decided it would be best if he stuck around. I would just hate for him to drive 4 or 5 hours away to the Frio, and I go into labor. It would not be a good thing if he couldn't make it back, and missed his first child's birth!
