Hopefully less though! Oh please let it be less! 38 weeks would be great, of course, only if he is ready to come. My ribs are killing me! KILLING ME!!
I did have a non-stress test this Thursday and an ultrasound to check on if he is breech and how my fluid is. Turns out he IS head down (YEAH!!) and I have really good fluid (YEAH!!) I will be having one every week until delivery, just because of my history with Little Miss. At my regular appointment on Wednesday (36 weeks) my Dr. did say that he wasn't breech and measuring at exactly 36 weeks... and that I was 3+ dilated and 70% effaced.. Wow! I don't remember what i was when I was induced with Little Miss at 38.5 weeks but I don't think I was that far. I know that the numbers don't really mean delivery is nigh, and that I could be at that point for the rest of my pregnancy but it was awesome hearing. The only weird thing is that my braxton hicks that were so intense in my 2nd Trimester have almost gone away. I still have them but not at the consistancy and intensity that I was used to. Little Man is also moving so much. He is definitely more active than his sister. I think he might be that way when he gets here too. He especially likes to kick my right ribs...hence the constant rib pain.
Soon I hope to be posting some pictures of my baby shower that Liz and mom gave me. It was awesome and I loved having so many family and friends celebrate with us...

On a side note Branch is in Florida, until tonight anyway. He was presenting a paper he wrote on functional limb stimulation... He was nervous but I hear he did great. I am just so proud of him. His first ever professional presentation in his chosen field. HOW COOL IS THAT? I know that with him there will be many more opportunities like this. I'm so thankful that he is able to work in the field that he loves, doing the work that he loves and the he can provide for our family. We are so blessed. He did tell Little Man not to come will he was away. Thank goodness he listened.
LOVE YOU BRANCH! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!

I am so excited for you and can't wait to see pictures of little man! :)
Jude was super wiggly in my belly, and he is still that way now! So I'm guessing Griffin will be that way for you. :) I hope you can get comfortable! The last month is always the toughest, but before you know it he will be here!
Oh, but you're so cute pregnant! Sure you don't want to stay that way forever????
OK, seriously you are cute. But I also kind of remember those last months of every pregnancy. Always figured it took that to get us to the point where we'd go through delivery to end the misery - right? Hang in there.
Congratulations to Branch on a great presentation! That's wonderful!
