We had an appointment with the midwife on Thursday morning, and as expected, all is well. Aside from iron levels, my numbers are all good. Babe is following the growth curve perfectly and is now head down (I suspected as much, having been pretty sure that hard bulge up under my ribs was a little bottom and not a head, but the ultrasound confirmation was nice). What’s more, s\/he is engaged in that position, which makes a move back to breech presentation pretty unlikely (though, I confess, it’s not doing a whole lot for my pelvic pain).<\/p>\n
Next Wednesday I hit the 37-week mark, which means that I’ll be officially full-term, though my due date isn’t until January 5. I’m hoping, hoping, hoping that the baby will decide to come three weeks from today, on New Year’s Day, but I realize that’s maybe a bit too specific. I know three or four weeks seems right around the corner to everybody else, but I’m still too much in the thick of it to think anything more than a couple of days is soon. Every day gets us that much closer, though, and I know from experience that a month from now I’ll be thinking, Wow, that just flew by.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
