Only 10 weeks left!

Okay, so I had another doctors appointment today and things are looking good. I had gained almost 4 lbs in the last two weeks, blood pressure still good, and Calloway's heartbeat was good.
Since, Sunday I had been experiencing some pain in my legs and hiney and I thought that Calloway was probably just laying on a nerve or something. This pain continued through Monday morning along with some major pressure that begin in my lower abdomen. I was trying to be tough about it all day Monday and that evening, but as the day went on it intensified. It was hard to get up out of a chair, it hurt to sit down in a chair and I couldn't hardly pull my pants up after using the restroom. I told Mark that I felt like I couldn't complain because so far I have had a great pregnancy. However, on the flip side....if this is what the next 10 weeks were going to be like.... I was done being pregnant!
When I woke up Tuesday morning to find the tingling sensation in my legs and hiney gone but the pressure and pain in my abdomen worse, I was not a happy morning person! I decided to go to school and tough it out again. I did tell my Assistant Principal what was going on and she was very concerned and made me call my doctor (which I was going to do on my planning period anyway). THe doctor didn't seemed concerned as long as I wasn't having any contractions! and I wasn't.
When I went to the doctor today, she did a physical exam to make sure that my cervix was okay and that everything was still closed up tight. SHe said it looked and felt okay, which made me feel much better.
I have a feeling this baby isn't going to be small. So, my prayer request for this blog is that the baby will come when she is ready but that she won't be too big so that I can have her vaginally!
