| I was looking at her yesterday and cried because I love her so much it hurts (:

| After last night being full of contractions Dr. Kerley decided he would check me today instead of waiting til next week....sure enough I was a centimeter and a half! Nobody get too excited because you can stay dilated for weeks and not get anywhere....However, it does make me feel good that the discomfort that I have experienced does produce some end result, hopefully a baby soon! Our next appointment is Tuesday at 1:30 and he will check me again of course, then Wednesday another ultrasound at 4:00 to check her size and determine if she needs to go ahead and come on out. My Dad will be here for the ultrasound on Wednesday so maybe she will wait til then to show her cute little face.
It is a full moon tonight, wouldn't it be nice if she just decided to come today???? Let's not get our hopes up....it will be later next week or the week after (:

We had a great visit yesterday, short and sweet! They did the strep B test (no results yet) and we talked about her size.....she is likely over 6lbs! He said that he will check my cervix in 2 weeks when I am 38 weeks and we can talk about induction if she is looking too big. We do have another appointment this Tuesday, but probably won't be much to talk about then. If we have to induce it will likely be after September 10th.....if it has to be after that date then we will pick the 12th or 14th, unless she is a good little girl and comes early on her own!!! (:

This week's progress resport says that she might "drop" sometime from now until she is born....does it look like she is a little bit lower than last week???? I can't really tell.....I would rather have to pee more or even on myself instead of having trouble breathing like I am!! Next doctor's appointment is on Wednesday.....now we start going every week (:
My brother Josh was visiting all week and we had tons of fun....Uncle Josh can't wait for her to be here! He said that it was really pretty crazy to see me pregnant and even though he sees the belly it's hard to believe! Well believe it, look at this beast!
Week Thirty-Six
Baby Campbell is almost ready and most likely, so are you! The only organ still to mature is the lungs.
While certainly you are both growing anxious to meet, remember that
each day (up to 42 weeks), that your little one stays within your womb
will multiply his chances to breathe on his own.
If she hasn't already, this week your baby may drop into the birth canal.
While breathing for mom becomes easier, walking may be the exact
opposite! If he's not your first baby, this "lightening" may not occur
until right before labor......this is what I have been waiting for!!!
Fat is dimpling Baby Campbell's elbows and knees, and forming creases in the neck and wrists.
Her skin is growing smooth and, shall we say it, "baby" soft.
Her gums are very rigid. It won't be many months before you'll see his teeth.
She has a fully developed pair of kidneys and her liver has begun processing some waste products.
Your child's average size is now 18.66 inches (47.4cm) and 5.78 pounds (2622 g). Between now and birth she will gain about an ounce a day!
We were about to go out to eat dinner last night, I liked my outfit for once in my pregnant life (:
