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.
