(Note: I forgot to post this back in April! I kept track of every appointment to print for our baby book except for this one. Today is June 23, but I’m post dating this for the date of the appointment’s date of April 30)
——————-
Today’s appointment was at 11 am. Mom went with me as usual since Kevin is unable to get off of work for these. I feel miserable. At 39 weeks pregnant, I feel like I’m literally about to pop. Last week, the doctor gave me an 80% chance of delivering before my next appointment.
Looks like that didn’t happen!
It was very crowded in the waiting room, so we had to sit in an adjoining room. I was a tad afraid they wouldn’t realize in was in there and would miss me when they called. I worried even more after I had been there for 40 minutes without them calling me. 
But finally they called me back. My weight today was 145 lbs. After all of the nice vitals and peeinacup stuff, I saw Dr. Nancy. We did the typical small talk stuff and fundal height measurements.
We also talked about my contractions. I have been contracting pretty good off and on since Sunday morning! Usually they’re 5 minutes apart. This morning they’ve been 3 minutes apart. I can tell it’s not time yet though. Mom thinks I should have went to the hospital Sunday, but I told her I’m following my gut. Even though this is my first baby, I have a good feeling that I will “know” when it’s truly time.
At least I hope I’m right. I don’t like it when my gut is wrong. 
Anyway, the doctor gave me a thumbs up for everything and said all signals are ready to go. I could go as early as tonight, she said!! I can’t wait.
The appointment was really short…but now it’s over and if all goes well, I won’t be coming back for another pre-natal visit. Jack is due on May 6th, and my next scheduled visit is on May 7th.
Let’s get prayin’ for a baby! whoohoo!
