35 weeks

On Wednesday, I had my 35-week checkup. This is the longest I've ever been pregnant, so I'm beginning to experience that uncomfortable stage where it feels like my stomach cannot possibly stretch any larger.
Everything went great except for the fact that the baby has gone from a head-down position from two weeks ago, to a transverse position (side-to-side). I go back next week for another ultrasound. If she is still transverse, then my doctor will try to turn her. I'm a tad bit nervous about this part since it can be pretty uncomfortable and there are some risks involved. If they are unable to turn her, then they will have to do a C-section and probably take her closer to 37 weeks. The last thing they want is for me to go into labor (especially with my history of pre-term labor) with her in the transverse position b/c it could result in a prolapsed umbilical cord, which is definitely not a good situation. So, we are praying that our little one decides to cooperate before next Wednesday and save her mama a lot of worry. Hopefully, her stubborness is just a passing phase. I'm beginning to think already that she has a lot of her daddy in her; although, he would probably beg to differ.
It's almost surreal to think that we are only weeks away from meeting our daughter. We can't help but wonder if she will look like her big brother. We take comfort in knowing that she is continuously prayed for with love and watched by angels from above.
