the month of nine.

I am getting so close! I am supposed to have over three weeks left but will I really go that far? I have had long false labor in the past. I dunno. The last few days have been full of painful braxton hicks and false labor at night. I dropped over a week ago and am now feeling the pinching feeling in my pelvis as I think the baby is engaging. The doctor thinks that this babe has now turned but an ultrasound on Monday will tell for sure. I just want to make it through another week so I am assured that all is in the right position and ready to go. I think that there should be a birth retreat place where you can go when you are close to being done so that you can relax and rest and then be there already when labor starts. Someone should get on that idea.
Last night at 3AM this strong little boy was moving around so hard, I felt like I was holding him in and was praying for another day. I swear he is going to kick his water free at any moment when he does that. I am so excited to meet him. I am also so excited to have the pressure off my body. I am cleaning through each room in my head and am now nesting. Eeek. I love just diving into pregnancy at the exciting beginning, even though the first part comes with sickness and the last with pressure; both a little torturous. It is always so worth it in the end. It is October! I hope I have a babe in my arms by the end of this month- sooner preferably :)
