36 down, 4 more to go

I went to the doctor today and I start going every week until I pop this little girl out. I was kind of hoping that when they checked the cervix and everything that they would tell me "oh my, you are getting ready to go into labor any time now". Well, I didn't get that news. The fondus height is 36 and I'm still closed inside, good news for the doctor and baby, but it kind of made me sad. I know she needs to stay in there a few more weeks to assure her lungs and organs are fully developed, but I want to meet her so bad. She was moving so much before and during the appointment and now it's just her little movements like she normally does. I wonder if she can sense that I'm little sad. I'm happy that she's doing good and going right on track, but I guess it's just after waiting this long, I just can't wait til the day we are at the hospital holding her. Sorry, I just needed to talk to someone and share my feelings about it.

I'm 36 weeks too. I also had an appt today. They said they normally don't start checking the cervix until 38 weeks....but he will if I want him too. I was kinda hoping I'd be dilated too, but my cervix was closed! Im a little disappointed as well. Time seems to be going so slow now! I just want my lil man here, and to not be preggo anymore!
