36 weeks!

I had my 36 week midwife appointment today. I get to do the fun GBS test (google it if you don't know...) next week since I have to be at 36 exactly or past in order to do that. I'll be 36 weeks on Friday. I was all prepared to have it done today! Oh well! lol. Baby is dropping, but still fairly high. My cervix is starting to thin and I'm about 1 cm dilated already! Her heart rate was 144 and she's of course still head down. I'm really staring to get excited! I'm hoping she'll come early, but trying to not get my hopes up to high on that!

I've had a busy day. After my appointment I met up with an old friend who had a contour changing pad, a tummy time mat, a bouncy seat and a screened in bassinet type thing. I met with a photographer and it went really well, she's really excited to be able to capture our birth on film and I'm really excited as well! She's just starting to do birth photography and she's actually doing our labor and birth pro-bono for her portfolio and website. I also plan on putting her down as a referral on my website once I get my Doula stuff started. Later my Dad came over after he was done with work and we got the mirror on the dresser really secured to the back and hung all the decorations and now the nursery is finally looking complete instead of just a storage room for baby stuff. I took a few pictures!

Tomorrow and Friday I have my doula workshop from 8am-6pm! It will be a long couple of days but I'm super excited about it!

Ha! And you thought I was going to cave and share the name! Nope! But that's what's behind the photoshopped smudge!
