One Month left!

I can't believe I am only 1 month away from my baby girls due date! I have loved this pregnancy and every bit of it... and I mean that with all my heart. Its getting SO very close to her being here and I am SUPER anxious to hold her in my arms and have her here with me and Jordan.
I haven't had an ultrasound since my 20 week appointment so I am very much missing her in a way. I don't get to see how she has grown and what she looks like. This in itself makes me want to see her even more now. I keep hoping that she will come a little early. Chances are that she will be late, but I keep hoping that after week 37 she will be ready to make her appearance in this world. :)
She is currently in head down position which is great and she has been head down since about week 25. I know this because of her hiccups. She gets them all the time, which makes me giggle, and I can feel the exact location of where they are. She also moves a lot now even though she really doesn't have any room. It may seem weird, but I have been measuring around my stomach to see how I have grown over this pregnancy and for the past couple months I have stayed at almost 39" around from back to bellybutton. I know she is growing, but since my belly seems to have stopped stretching she really has no room left. She doesn't kick as much, but she definitely squirms around. The weirdest thing happened one night and it really felt like she was knocking on my belly (kinda like you would knock on door). lol. It was quick but she did it about 5 times. Like knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. lol.
There has also been times during her squirming that it actually tickles. I have even laughed out loud once because it made me jump a little because it just tickled so bad. lol. She doesn't really ever kick my ribs so I have been grateful for that, but as I have mentioned before about her having no room left she is spreading my ribs out in my front and back. lol. It just kinda feels like I need to pop my back all the time and squeeze my front ribs back in because they feel out of place.
These last months have been such an amazing experience and I do not take one part of it for granted. I have loved being pregnant even if it isn't always comfortable or easy to handle. :) I can't wait to see my baby face to face and wrap her in my arms. She is going to be very much loved not just by Jordan and I, but by family and friends. :D We are all awaiting her arrival.
