<p>I had a doctor&#8217;s appointment this morning. Last week, the baby&#8217;s head was low and my cervix had started to soften. This week, the doctor said I was almost dilated to 1 cm. She could get her fingertip in, but not her whole finger. So my body has made some progress in the last week.&nbsp; Thumper&#8217;s heartbeat was 145.  </p>
<p>I was 37 weeks yesterday and therefore, this also means that Thumper is full term. You are welcome to make your arrival any time now, baby! </p>
<p>We&#8217;re getting pretty excited. I am more and more uncomfortable everyday and my feet are getting huge. The doctor wasn&#8217;t worried about the slight increase in my weight gain because she said it was all water. I am going to feel like a dainty fairy once all this water is out of me!  </p>
<p>So, things are progressing. Everyone is different. So now we just wait and see when my body and this baby are ready to do their things. </p>
