and the countdown begins

I'm visiting my OB every 2wks now. The last one I had was last 12/8, that was my 32nd week. I will be on my 34th wk in 3days and I will be back to visit my OB again. How time flies. I was reading "What to expect when you're expecting" last night, and got very nervous when I bumped on the Labor and Delivery chapter. Living all the way in Cainta and planning to give birth at Asian Hospital (fingers crossed -- if budget permits) that'll probably take me 15mins if I have wings and 2hours by land -- without traffic, I'm really hoping not to give birth inside my car or in the middle of South Express way or C5 road! My tummy's really getting heavy as the day goes by and I would usually feel pain in my back in the middle of the day. I'd rather lie down in bed all day than walk or sit around. Movements of my little alien are still very prominent, he's still very active. I'm quite confused though, in the book, it stated that during these times, there are less room in the tummy because the baby is getting big. Why is mine still doing acrobats? Based from my last check up, he's only 4.4lbs on his 32nd week, I think that's quite small for his gestational age, but as per the OB, he's quite big...here's to crossing my fingers to not having a cs delivery.

I'm crossing out the days in my calendar and trying hard not to be nervous as the days go by...I really hope I deliver my baby boy via normal delivery -- I can't wait!
