9 Months Pregnant!

I have made it to the final month of pregnancy!! I am 36 weeks pregnant and at my last appointment my doctor wasn’t convinced that the baby had flipped to a head down position, so she ordered an ultrasound. Scotty and I were excited because we didn’t get a late ultrasound with Kayden, so we were excited to see what our baby looks like fully developed. We had our ultrasound this morning and it turns out she wasn’t cooperating again and we didn’t get but a glimpse of a profile shot (I’ll be honest, I didn’t catch the glimpse!). The ultrasound tech did measurements of the important things and confirmed that baby girl has indeed flipped. Like Kayden, I am carrying the baby very low, and likely that is why the doctor wasn’t able to feel her head at my last appointment. The baby has a strong heart beat and everything is measuring on track. My doctor offered to check to see if I was dilated and I figured why not! Turns out I am 1 centimeter dilated and 50% effaced. These were the two measurements I got two days before Kayden was born. Of course, I can go all the way to term with these measurements (or even more dilated!), but it’s still kind of exciting to know that the process is moving forward. Here’s hoping Little MIss stays nice and cozy inside mommy for at least another week or two… I still have nesting to do!!
