The End is in Sight!

Today I had my first weekly OB appointment with this pregnancy.  I was really surprised and excited for the news my doctor had given me.  First, at my previous appointment she told me that if by this appointment our little guy hadn't gotten into position, she would have to try and turn him.  If that didn't work, then we'd start talking about having a c-section.  That thought alone terrified me!  I've heard how horrible c-sections are and I DEFINITELY did not want one!  Anyway, so it turned out that our little guy was able to get himself in position without any problems.  Second, she told me that I was already dilated to a 1, which isn't much I realize, but I didn't even expect to be dilating already. Third, she asked me about how early both my kids were.  I told her Tali was five days early and Jairus was two weeks early.  She then told me that I looked bigger than she remembered, but then when she measured me, she said everything looked good.  She thought for a moment and said "we should shoot for the 24th."  I wondered if maybe she was afraid that if we waited until August, the baby would be too big?  I don't know.  The last time she talked about this, I was induced and avoided major complications.  I'm really grateful to have such a great doctor who seems to know what is best for me and my baby.  I was quite excited when she told me about moving the date up for several reasons, but mainly because I can't wait to meet our little guy and see what he looks like.  I was really excited to know I was already progressing.  Looks like I should probably start getting things packed to be ready for the hospital when we deliver.  THREE MORE WEEKS!
