We had our 35 week follow up yesterday and the vital stats are:
Baby's heart rate: 147
Mom's weight gain : only ONE pound since last time (total weight is 168/ 29 lb increase -- ahhhhh)
After an 'uncomfortable' (to say the least) exam -- it has been determined that the baby has dropped and is at a -1 position. I am dilated to almost a 2. And apparently the Dr. could feel the baby's head (yeah -- told you it was uncomfortable) at the opening.
Basically this all means that the baby is 1 cm away from being 'locked in' as they call it -- which is when he is in birthing position and is resting on my pubic bones just waiting to come out. Knocking on the door one might say!
The Dr says that she does not think I am going to go full term -- so anytime in the next few weeks we should be rushing out the door!!! As long as it is after May 3rd that is fine cause I have tickets to see the Lion King!
We took a tour of the birthing facility yesterday -- nicey! And we will be packing my hospital bag this weekend-- as well as ammonia salts for Leehu in the inevitable event that he passes out!
WOOO HOOOO -- here we come!

I don't understand why you even want the kid to come out! It sounds like you have had such a great time with him moving around in your tummy you wouldn't want to let go of him! I guess it's just the course of nature that must take place!
Ha! Hayden sat that low for 2 weeks!!!! It's such a great feeling. Shooting pain through your groin...
