36 Week Update...

I went to the doctor yesterday for my 36 week check up. I am not dilated yet. Everything looked fine she said. My body does seem to be gearing up for delivery though. My ankles were swollen when I went in and my nose seems to stay congested. She said all of this is just a part of it. My belly measured 36 inches which is right on track. Next week we will have a sonogram to check weight and position. She says he is sitting way back, but wants a sono to see more. This morning I called to make sure a few things I was experiencing were normal after my exam yesterday. Missy, my Dr., actually got on the phone with me. I told her I was cramping on and off since yesterday and that every time I stood up I felt like everything would fall out. She said she thought I was having contractions and to go home right away. I was shocked, because I really wasn't hurting just not comfortable. Anyway, I went home took Tylenol and a warm bath then laid down for the rest of the day. Everything seems to be fine to me, but who knows this is all so new. I mean yeah I am having aches and pains, but don't we always when we're pregnant? So as of now I will just be at home this weekend relaxing. I guess it would be good for baby ray to wait one more week to enter the world, so he would be 37 weeks. We will just wait and see.
