Jack's 36 week check up

Went to the doc today for the 36 week check up. This was the first time they checked to see if I'm dilated or "thinning" at all. So far, just a very slight opening and no thinning. I'll go back next Thursday (7/31) for the 37 week appt and they'll check again. Hoping for some action by then :) Otherwise, my blood pressure, iron, and weight were good. The midwife felt on my belly to guess Jack's size. She said he definitely feels big and she wouldn't be surprised if he ends up to be an 8 pounder - wow. We'll see. Mama Swaney went with me today - nice to have the company and share the excitement. Steve will go to next weeks appointment. In the meantime, I wrap up one last week of work and finish prepping things for Jack's arrival. Still need to pack the hospital bag and finish up some things in the nursery. I CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM TO GET HERE!!
