Gettin' Low

Well I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow which is considered full term. My body is feeling closer to the delivery stage. Mason has been so low this whole pregnancy that I didn't think I would have that "dropping" feeling with him, but I actually have. There is now space between him and my ribs, which feels better! I can also tell a differnce in where he kicks and punches me. His kicks are much lower on my side now than they were even two weeks ago. I'm having some cramping, which is a sign of impending labor as well. Cris at work is always analyzing my belly, and she hadn't seen me in a few days and saw me yesterday and was totally convinced at how low he had gotten and also said that my stomach had taken on a whole different shape. It's interesting to get her perspective, and she seems to be able to tell things about my body that I sometimes miss :) Ryon asks if I'm having contractions about every 10 minutes bc he's so ready to meet his little boy. As for me, I'm making banana bread today and hanging out at the house! My sisters are mad for me getting on the treadmill, but at this point I really don't care, because I would LOVE for my body to go into labor on it's own and not have to be induced. I just have faith that my body knows what it needs to do and I'd much rather it happen naturally than planned. But I'd also like my Dr. to be there so I'd rather induce early. So I'm taking care of myself and trying to get some exercise this week! So maybe in the next two weeks Mason will want to come out and play! His parent's are ready :)
