Wow, it really gets exciting now, huh?? :D Have you noticed your baby dropping at all? And, is it smack dab in the middle of your belly or off to one side or the other? Mine always lies on the right side of my belly... maybe I should be nudging him to the left, haha *shrugs*
I haven't noticed any dropping - stil pretty high...I need to post pics soon :)
The baby is usually in the middle of my belly, but kind of flops back and forth from right to left...left is supposed to be the best because there's almost NO chance of back labor - but to the right there is a pretty good chance of it. I don't know, my doula gave me all this Optimal Positioning stuff to do to get the little worm in just the right spot.
Hrmm.. I should ask my dr about that tomorrow at my appt... I would really like to avoid back labor! YES! It's been a long time for both of us since we've posted pics! I am eager to see if there's much of a difference :)
Where do you get these lovely baby-info bits? I look around at parentsplace.com and babycenter.com, but they don't seem to have such good info.
Just warning you, get prepared! I ended up calling my husband from the doctor's office at my 35 week check up to tell him we would be delivering a baby in a few hours....:)
I think you said that yiu kept having birth dreams and every time it was in water so you might go down that route. It was probably me that misunderstood - you probably meant that you want to go through the first part in the water, as you said :)
Woo! 34 weeks! And hey, justification for my pelvic numbness.
The carseat is the only thing that HAS to be done - and Don can always do it while you're at the hospital. Family and friends were quite busy doing laundry and picking up baby stuff I needed when I was in the hospital with Alex, since we were so not ready..
I've read the BH tend to get more intense since the baby is bigger - it makes sense, I suppose.

My favorite is www.childbirth.org for info like this and lots of other good stuff too.

I want to labor in the tub, spend transition there if it's helping, but not actually deliver there, plus the hospital isn't really equiped for that
