33 Week Follow Up

I had a great doctor appointment today. Very minimal weight gain, my uterus hasn't grown since the last measurement when it was a little on the large side, AND...are you ready for this? I started having a (minor, have-them-all-the-time) contraction, and as my doc placed her hands on my belly to feel it, she said, "You know, you probably won't make it to your due date." I immediately gave her a high-five. It was an impulse--I couldn't help it. I have to admit, it would be nice to have the baby just a smidge early, say 37 weeks. I am just hoping to make it as far as the baby needs me to, which she said would be the first week of March. But her comment was enough to keep my spirits up (I hear women in their last month get pretty irritable) for a while at least.
