Locked and Loaded

I had my 38 week appointment today and found out that I am 2cm dilated and 50% effaced! The doc said I am progressing really well and he could feel Hadley's head when he checked me!!! He said she is LOCKED AND LOADED with her head down in the right position! He said he doesn't think we will go past our due date of June 17, but we shall see. I asked if he could tell how much she is weighing these days, and after poking and pushing my belly around he said he would guess that she is probably about 7 pounds right now, which is a great size! She is gaining about 1/2 pound a week. I also found out I tested positive for Strep-B, which is kind of a bummer but not a biggie as 1 in 5 women are. It just means they will have to give me antibiotics when I go into labor so I don't pass anything onto the baby. After this appointment, it's starting to feel a bit more real...and it is so hard to believe we will have a baby in our arms soon! We have pretty much every emotion going through our minds these days...excited, nervous, scared out of our minds, you name it...but all in all we just can't WAIT to meet our sweet baby girl in person and are so thankful my pregnancy has gone so well. Now we are just praying for a smooth labor!
