36 Week Doctor Visit

Well, we are officially at NINE MONTHS of pregnancy! Saw Dr. Dodson today, and we got hooked up to a fetal monitor to test the baby's heartrate and movement, which were both good. We got a sonogram, to test the levels of amniotic fluid, which were good. The sonographer says the baby's head is down, and she's facing my back, which is the right position for a vaginal birth. So we're getting there! Dodson also did a cervical exam and says my cervix is still closed, which means I am not at all dilated and not close to labor yet. She also told me that she thinks I should stay closer to home than the Jersey Shore after Memorial Day, in case I go into early labor. That means no Jersey Shore the weekends btw June 1 and June 15--I'm bummed. Stuck in the city! Not so bad though.

We saw the movie Waitress over the weekend and loved it. It's about a woman who gets pregnant and is very conflicted about it, and is very lonely. See it.
