First of all, I promise pictures of my baby shower, which was Saturday, soon. It was super fun, and I felt very spoiled--as was my baby. One of my friends took all the pictures, though, and I haven't gotten them from her yet. So they are on their way. And with them hopefully a good glimpse of my 36-week belly, since the last shot I have is from 35 weeks, and I think it's grown a ton since then.
I had my 36-week appointment today, which means I finally get to move into the bi-weekly appointment range. My OB practice doesn't let you get there until this point in the pregnancy! Anyway, the report is that I am 1cm dilated and about 25% effaced. The baby is head-down, and has started to drop a little, but not all the way. Fundal height is 34cm--4cm growth since 32 weeks! My OB's guess is that I'll go into labor a few days early, but we all know how valid these guesses are.
And now I'm writing this while standing at my desk because sitting hurts too much! I had been warned by a friend that the cervical check can be painful, but I thought I'd be fine because the check itself didn't hurt too badly. But now I'm definitely feeling some cramping down there. My poor pelvic floor! So I need to go lay down for a few minutes and see if I can get things to move around.

Can't wait to see belly and shower pics! You're getting sooo close, I can't believe it. Glad to hear things look good, and from the sounds of it, your little one is getting ready!!
Hope your cervix feels better soon...lol, feels funny to write that!
Whohoo!! 36 weeks already...that's insane! Can't wait to see the updated pics. :)
Awesome appt! Yip for your baby being head down and getting ready to go. :) Not too much longer now!! xoxo
Be glad you didn't have biweekly appointments sooner than that, I always felt like the extra ones were a bit of a waste of time. I can't wait to hear the end of this story and beginning of the next - coming soon!
btw, I tagged you for a meme, if you'd like to do it great, I won't be offended if you're not interested. http://noperiodbaby.blogspot.com/2011/03/ive-been-tagged-by-my-very-good-friend.html
