I am now 36 weeks pregnant. We had our first visit today with the doctor to check to see if i was dialating or effacing. Well im not either effaced of dialated. No one ever tells you how much it hurts when the doctor checks you while your pregnant. It hurt so bad and yeah i know im in for a lot worse.

Lately the baby has been more active. The baby will put its foot out my right side and ill touch it and rub it and the baby will move it back in or to another spot and i chase it around. Its lots of fun. Every once and a while ill go and put myhand oin my stomach and end up feeling and elbow retract back in. This is so cool. I cant wait till i can actually play and hold my baby. I have been a little more emotional latey, boobs are leaking more, and my stomache muscles tighten but no pain along with them yet. Our lamaze class that we are taking has been very informative and helpful it helps william out with what is happening and it helps me to. Like when the baby first drops its to one side the one you start dialating and the baby lowers it turns to have its back to your belly button. i did not know that i thought they just went straight to that. but not for me. Also i learned to not sit on a labor ball or one of those big balls when the baby dropped otherwise you wont be able to walk for to days.... its best to wait till your in labor to use it. Im so excited but the emotions are starting to run a little more these days...

For thatnksgiving we are staying home primarily because i could still go into labor anytime and we dont have good tires on our car to go over the passes to my moms house. So the same as last year staying home and making my own thanksgiving dinner for william and i. His parents are out of town too.

I had to go to the doctor today cause i am feeling lots of pressure on my pelvis and my groin muscles are starting to hurt and i can barely walk. So we went, they checked to see if i was dialated. Im not. But the baby is head down and sitting directly behind my pelvis. Baby is also still active. Im feeling of the pressure of the baby being dropped in my pelvis. I have an ultrasound set for friday to see exactly how big this baby is gonna be to help both the doctor and i.

I still have a month to go and im not going very far for the holidays. I wanted to go home but its not gona happpen. So ill be enjoying it possibly with the inlaws.

We had our first lamaze class last night it was interesting and i tink it will be good for me even though i may not be going to all the classes. We are gonna take the hospital tour early just in case too. cause i want to know where everythin is so i dont have to worry about it then.

I have annother doctors appointment next week that i normally had set so i probably blog again then or after the ultrasound friday after.
