Labor is getting close!

Ok, guys. Labor is getting close, I can feel it! No, really...I can FEEL it. The baby has dropped, so much so that I can barely walk now. At my last ultrasound, his head was actually laying right on my cervix, and the doc said it was no wonder I was feeling so much pressure. That was last Friday, and the pressure has continued to get worse since then. I've been doing my best to not overdo it, since I obviously want him to "bake" as long as possible. I've basically been laying around with my feet up like I'm supposed to, but that's causing me a bit of internal distress because while I'm resting, all I can think of is the million things I need to do before baby gets here! I'm still having contractions on a daily basis, but nothing regular/patterned yet. Mostly just PRESSURE. I'm also having really bad mentral-like cramps. They're definitely not contractions, but probably everything just stretching and getting ready for labor. 

I just wanted to hop on here and say, it's almost "go" time. I know I'm relatively early, but today I'm 34 weeks and 5 days, and my water broke with Elena at 35 weeks, so it could be any time based on my history. 

*Praying for a quick and easy delivery!*

Until next time,
