I had a doctor's appointment this morning and Saylor is looking great! She is head down and we are hoping she stays that way. They did some kind of strep test and a few other checks, and everything went well. I even lost 4 pounds since my last visit. Woohoooo! :) It must have been water weight and extra fluid from all the heat, so I am glad to have gotten rid of some of that (for the time being, at least). I go back in 2 weeks and they will check my cervix to see how much I have dilated, etc and to hopefully get a good idea when baby girl will make her appearance. This is all so SURREAL! Cue happy dance. Cue freak out. Cue excitement. Cue fear. Ha. I can't believe how close we are now. Just last night, Sean was talking about me getting my bag packed and ready for the hospital. Holy cow. This is real! Ha.
