So the last few days it has felt like the baby has moved downward. It seemed like my belly was sitting on my lap and walking has turned into more of a waddle. I can feel the top of the baby (his bottom) just above my belly button whereas before he was crammed up into my ribs. I was hoping and guessing that all this meant he was making his way downward and getting ready for birth.
Today I saw the Midwife and yes indeed he is making progress. I am 80% effaced and 1.5cm dilated, with a pretty soft cervix. I can't help but be excited about the progress even though people say I could stay at this point and still not deliver till well after the due date. My body is getting prepared and that's good enough for me!
Had my baby shower last week and got lots of super cute outfits and other things for the little guy. It was super fun and I can't thank them enough for putting it on for me. They went in on a group gift and got a jogger stroller!! That makes me so happy! Cause I will only have a few months to loose the baby weight before winter comes and all hope of outside exercise is lost. Over the weekend I got the carseat to match the stroller. I was going to try and get one used off of ksl but once I went through all the coupons they send you in the mail, I realized I could get it brand new for about the cost of a used one. It was originally $150 and I walked out of BabiesRUs with it for $80! Yea score! Still need lots of baby things but I guess newborns really dont need much so as long as I have the carseat, crib, some clothes, and a pack of diapers and wipes I should be good to go.
Cant wait for this little dude to get here! Although I better get busy, cause I still have lots of preparation to do. Now it is starting to become a reality, could be any day now or it could be a few weeks. Either way I better get ready!
