35 week appointment

we had our 35 week check up this morning.
everything went well and looked normal.
our baby's heart beat was 150 bpm.
now that we are going every week, i am having cervix checks to see if my cervix is dilated or effaced.
our doctor said i am about 50% effaced (thinned) but not dilated.
she also said that our baby girl's head is REALLY low which surprised me considering i am still only going to the bathroom 1-2 times a night.
she actually seemed kind of shocked at how low it was and said that is really good for first time moms.
she said that doesn't mean our baby is coming any earlier but that i have a really high chance of having a successful vaginal delivery which is what i was hoping for!

needless to say, we were very pleased with today's appointment and can't believe we have 4 1/2 weeks left until we finally get to hold her!

we go back next week for our weekly checkup and also to have one last sonogram to make sure everything appears normal.
we also will be interviewing a few pediatricians so please say a prayer that we find a doctor that we will think we will be a good fit for us and baby fusch.

happy hump day!
