Last night, I spent almost the entire night dreaming about giving birth. I'd have a labor dream, wake up, pee, fall back to sleep, have another labor dream, wake up...it was a vicious cycle. The weird part is, I was never at a hospital. The majority of times I had this dream (it was pretty much the same dream over and over again with a few variations) I was giving birth at Target. The pain was horrible, Andy wasn't there, and I had to have a Target employee page Abb to come to the aisle where I was laying. So weird. Isla was never actually born in any of the dreams though.
I feel like Isla possibly dropped last night. I haven't felt any kicks to my ribs like I normally do, although I won't really know until tonight because that is when she is most active. I've been feeling more pressure on my bladder suddenly, and in my dream I felt her wedge herself down into my pelvis. Again, weird. But maybe my dream was an indicator of something.
It's obviously still too early to give birth, so I'm not hoping for her to pop out anytime soon...although I still have a feeling she will be coming early. I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying that!
I'm 35 weeks and 3 days! My fingers are crossed for a 37 week birth :)

That's awesome, I think the dreams are signs that your body is preparing, which bodes well for labor to start happening naturally rather than having to be induced.
I can't believe how close it is. Can I ask now, are you ok with peeps visiting at the hospital, because you might have to use force to keep me out, I can't wait to meet and snuggle and smooch your baby girl.
And may I say, great job growing this baby so far! People don't say it much, but being pregnant is hard, and you are already a kick-ass mom.
I totally agree with Alicia, you have done amazing with this pregnancy and you are almost done! She could arrive any day now although hopefully she waits until you are 37 weeks so you are considered full term. As for coming to visit... I think we already came to the conclusion I will be there as soon as that little girl is out (she might not even be cleaned up yet and I will be waiting to meet her)! Just kidding I will give you some time, but when you are ready for visitors (hospital or at home) I will be there immediatly because I really need a baby fix before I got nuts!
