Nearly there!

I am thirty seven weeks now... only three weeks to go (or less I hope!).

I thought I had better update the site again especially since our hospital visit last Wednesday.

We had the 36 week appointment at Ballarat and this guy (I am not even sure he was a doctor!!!) was checking the position of the head. He had no idea what he was doing, and could not tell where the head was. So he took us to the room next door where we got to have a scan. The problem was that he still couldn't tell where the head was! The funny thing was that I was looking at the screen and it looked like a head to me! I could even see eyes and a nose and a mouth. The 'Dr' said he would have to go and get his boss so he left the room. While he was gone, Kel got up and grabbed the scanner and started giving me an ultrasound! It was so funny, and even Kel could see it was a head! But he did hurry up and sit down before the dr came back! When the 'boss' came into the room it was great. He felt my belly and straight away knew it was the head. Then he did a quick scan, pointing things out. He said that the baby still had a bit of vernix, which means that it isn't quite ready to come out yet. And then he said we have a GREAT baby!!! It is in the perfect position and everything looks set for a natural delivery! I am so glad this boss guy came along, otherwise the whole trip would have seemed like a waste. This guy was able to put my mind at ease, and we left feeling very happy! Plus I will know if I see a guy named Marvin when I am in labour to steer clear of him!!!

I have still been having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, and a very sore back at night. Sleeping is getting uncomfortable. But I am looking forward to a half hour massage that I am having at work tomorrow!!!
