36 Weeks...

...We're getting there! At the very most we'll have to wait 6 weeks to meet Maddie (I believe they induce at 42 weeks), but I don't think it will be that long. After the doctor's appt this morning we were told that I'm about 1 cm dialated and Dr. Cowan said he thought he felt her head. He said she's dropped and appears to be head down. We go tomorrow morning for the 36 week sonogram where we'll be able to see exactly what position she's in and we'll also get an estimate on weight.

I did give a high blood pressure reading when I first arrived, but then gave one that was great. Dr. Cowan asked us to buy a blood pressure cuff and to take and record my blood pressure 3 times a day. They just want to keep an eye on it. High blood pressure can make me sick but won't hurt Maddie. Worst case senario, they will induce labor which will cure my high blood pressure. We're nowhere near needing to do that yet.

On a funnier note, my feet (or cankles as I like to call them) are swelling to sausage proportions and my belly button is pretty much non-existent.
