Only 3 weeks to go!

I will be 37 weeks on Monday, 2/1/2010!  I went to the doctor yesterday for my 36 week appt.  I tested negative for the Group B Strep, but the doctor said she would probably treat me for it anyway since I had it with Caleb.  So, it will be an automatic 2 day stay in the hospital when Lydia arrives.  I told the doctor how bad I was feeling and that I was over this pregnancy.  She took some blood and I am anemic.  So, I now get to take iron pills twice a day.  She also gave me something to help me sleep at night.  Then, she checked me and I am dialated to 3 cm!  Progress!  Because I felt so bad, she did a non-stress test and an ultrasound on Lydia.  Lydia is doing great.  She measures right where she should be and the ultrasound tech estimated her weight to be 6 lbs 8 oz as of right now.  With a few more weeks to grow, she'll probably weigh more than Caleb did when he was born!  The doctor told me she would pray for me to go early and told me it was okay to ask everyone else to do the same.  So, please, please, please pray that Lydia will decide to arrive early!  I just can't take it anymore!
