went well! gained some more weight, but thats what your suppose to do after all ;). Listened to the baby, she sounds great, she was resting and her heart rate was 135. Measuring good still. And Hip Hip Hooray-she is in the right position!!! she is no longer "sunny side up" I've been working hard on this, so i'm relieved at the results! She is also estimated to be 6 lbs 8 ounces so thats good too I'm happy she is healthy in there and at a good weight especially with the 2V cord (most babies have a 3V cord), so even though my body is having to work extra hard to get her everything we needs i'm relieved at our efforts :). Usually at ob offices they start checking you for cervical dilation/effacement etc. but we dont do that here at the midwives place and i'm actually just fine with that because it doesnt tell you SQUAT! if you are dilated then you get excited thinking baby could come any moment (which can happen anyway) plus it gets family all riled up and excited which adds more pressure for the pregnant mother and adds more questions like "when is baby coming?" I still dont know! lol and if your not dilated to anything that its a big fat disappointment thinking you'll be pregnant forever. So I'm glad to just be at peace with whatever is going on down there whatever it may be :)
Greatest news is since something is up with the place you order the birth kit from, guy is out of town, etc, Molly went ahead and ordered some before he went out of town because he told her it would be a bit before he started re-filling orders so anyway that is one less thing we have to do now, and since i got it from her i dont have to wait for it to be delivered! so we are all ready to go!!!!! i'm pumped! it feels good to have everything in one room and in one place all ready for her whenever she needs it. All we need to do now is go to sams and stock the freezer so we dont have to think about food for a week or so after she gets here. I feel like I can just relax now and enjoy the rest of this pregnancy, whatever is left of it, because i know i'll miss it once its gone. Even though she'll be in my arms i'll miss the little rambunctious thing in my stomach :)
Next appt is the Home Visit!! its next thursday, and if anyone knows my husband than you know he is already freaking out about cleaning his already clean house! LOL he is insane!

that's awesome! And yes, even my OB wouldn't check me until I made him at 37 weeks (then delivered 3 days later!)....and I really enjoyed the just wait and see type of attitude. I can't believe it's so close. Soon you'll be holding her. I'm so excited for you guys....oh and btw, Rusty can come clean my house ANY time before my baby gets here ;)
