38/39 week

MMMMKKK...... where to begin?
I dont know if I have mentioned this or not... but i HATE BEING PREGNANT!!!!!
Last week was my 38 week checkup.. And i was 3 centimeters, progressing great. But was in tears when the doctor said that he wouldn't start me. He wanted to see a little more progression.  At that appointment he told me "Monday!"
Monday is finally here. But for some reason, My hopes weren't up like they usually are.
I went to the Dr. and all of the nurses were so excited that it was finally time.... but still something was not letting me get excited???? The wait in the room by myself seemed like it was hours. Finally Dr. Firth Came in with a smile from ear to ear... saying "we made it!"
We listened to the strong heart. And the baby belly is measureing 41 Weeks. Everything seemed like it was looking great. He checked me... and i was still the same! all of a sudden the Dr. didnt seem to excited anymore... saying he was stepping out to turn on the ultra sound machine. My heart sank! I had only received one ultrasound with both pregnancy's. So why would he want or need to do another???
As we were walking into the ultrasound room.. he said the baby seems like it might be breached. There is no reason why I should be measuring the same as last week. I should have progressed quite a bit.
EVERYTHING on the ultra sound seemed perfect. and at that moment it really didn't matter to me when he was coming. as long as everything was all right. I was looking for the heart. and at the brain. looking for two arms and legs. I was calm.
The baby is not breached. But his head is sitting on my left hip instead of down in my cervix where he needs to be at this point. If he doesnt move down then they are thinking that we might need to do a Csection. Both the Dr. and I didnt want to go in that direction. But at the same time... We dont really want him to get any bigger than he already is. The Dr. showed me some moves and stretches that will probably help. So now it is just a waiting game. He wants to see me on Friday. And he will make a decision from there. 
Hopefully my next post we will have some exciting news!

I hope everything goes okay for you too. It is so frustrating waiting and not knowing. Hopefully you dont have to have a Csection and he moves into place. Good luck with everything. Not too much longer!!!
