36 weeks + 5 days pregnant...

36 nearly 37 weeks pregnant...and I feel it...baby's head is down, pressing on my bladder...each day it feels like he's getting into position, and the pressure is added to my hips. I nearly forgot this phase of pregnancy. 

At my last appointment on Wednesday, I was already 3 cm dilated and my OB could feel the baby's head which tells me I'm 75% or more effaced already. I'd like to keep this little fella inside until 38 weeks at least...but my body is telling me that may not happen. 

He's still kicking, rolling, and moving, but the movements tend to hurt now and are very pronounced. There's not much room to move in there now, and we both know that.

I'm taking vacation starting Sunday so that I can prepare for the baby. See my dad and spend time with my family. I wanna get last minute things for him, do some last minute cleaning and organizing, pack my hospital bag. If I don't go into labor, I'll be back at work on Saturday night, which is the 1st.
