38 Week Check-up

Yesterday I had my 38 week appointment with Jill. My belly measured 38 cm, a big jump from last week(it was 36 cm)! I also gained 3 pounds. Jill said the baby's head is engaged, which means it's down in the pelvis, so that's good.
So far I haven't had any signs that I'll be going into labor, just some Braxton Hicks contractions(they're practice contractions that happen all throughout pregnancy). JIll thinks that I'll be later than my due date like I was with Flora. I hope she's wrong or at least not as late as Flora.
Baby is still moving, but less than before. I'm sure it's getting a little tight in there for moving. 
We can't believe that my due date is 9 days away and that we will soon have a baby and another member in our family.
In other news... Flora is 1 and 3/4 of a year old (21 mos) today! She continues to amaze and amuse us everyday. She has a huge vocabulary for her age and can repeat almost every word you say and if she can't, she'll still try!  She continues to read to herself on occasion and LOVES to color and take care of her babies. Flora is very sweet and loving, she gives us all hugs and kisses, including the cats and dog.
Her 14th tooth, the upper left eye tooth, is through.
She's just an all-around good girl! I think we're spoiled. Chances are that with this next one, we won't be so lucky, but we'll keep our fingers crossed! ;)
