36 Week Doctor Visit

I am already getting tired of visiting my doctor so often. Yesterdays visit was good - except for the new parents in the waiting room who constantly "SSSSHHHHHHHed" their already content newborn constantly. The whole time I sat there waiting. "SSSHHHHHH"! I wanted to SSSHHHH them!!

Anyway, irritability aside, everything looks good. Baby's heart rate is good. My blood pressure - check. And the doctor checked to make sure the little guy's head was down and in position. Check!! I'm very happy about that. And quite amazed. I'd been trying to figure out what position he is in for the last couple of days and couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was feeling. It took her all of two seconds. Guess that's why she's the pro! Now let's hope he stays in position for the big day...when ever that is.

I've still made no predictions myself, but Hubby thinks I'll deliver on the 26th and baby will weigh 8lbs 12oz. Baba thinks the 26th or 27th. I'm hoping they are right. The sooner the better for this impatient mama!

Halloween would be a cool birthday. I do have two conflicts with that date though. 1. It's almost a week after my estimated due date - I do hate waiting. And 2. Baby's 2 year old cousin would have to share her birthday. I don't know how the kids would like that. Maybe they would be fine with it. Maybe they wouldn't want to share the attention?! Who knows!

I'm not sure if its just the dreary weather we've been having or the pregnancy hormones but I've been very miserable for the last couple of days. Snapping at dear hubby. Crying for no reason. Getting irritated by new parents shushing their newborns! I do hope it passes. This should be a time for joy!
