My mood while writing this blog: excited

I went to the Doctor's today, and am sooo excited. He said the baby is about 6lbs, is head down, and ready to come. He said at my appointment next week they will try to get things moving. They do this by stripping the membranes, or stretching the cervix. I have had a few people ask me why, and I am like, the baby is ready thats why. The thing with this procedure is, if the baby is not ready, then labor will not start. but, for the most part, the baby is delivered within 48hrs. This is such good new to me! If my Doctor says he is ready, then I am good with that:)) I preregistered at the hospital today, and have such a better outlook just knowing things might be moving along. I have been having stronger contractions, and with hurricane Hannah coming towards us in a few days, I am wondering if I'll go into labor sooner than my next appointment. If so yippppeeeeee!! I am ready ready ready to meet my little guy:)

P.S. I have also lost 7 lbs, from being so sick lately. This is another sign he is ready, fine by me I am losing weight and he is gaining it, that's how it should be! Also, I am borderline anemic, and the Doc thinks my dizzyness is a vertigo thing, because my b/p was ok today. The dizzyness is crippling, and the Doctor advised he did not recommend taking the medication to treat it while pregnant, so I said ok. I'll just have to deal with it until he is here....it's worth waiting. I have been having contractions all night, and just had a doozy whoa! They are getting stronger.....like a vice gripping my abdomen is the best way to put it. I am about to start timing them just to make sure.......and then the heartburn begins.......
