A blessing disguised as chaos at 37 weeks

After much thought regarding the doctor and hospital change, I've realized there are many positives that have come from this chaotic situation.
First, it was great to go to a high risk doctor throughout the majority of my pregnancy because I had reassuring ultrasounds at every appointment. But, I'm far enough along now that I don't need those reassuring ultrasounds.
Secondly, if I was still with Dr. Stewart, he would be doing the circumcision. I was never comfortable with him doing that because he's not a pediatrician. Now that I'm going back to Dr. Bundren, his policy is that the pediatrician does do the circumcision.
Lastly, Hillcrest hospital is known to have the best Women's Center in town and they are proponents of natural birth.
I am happy to go back to Dr. Bundren because I had planned to have him be my regular OB after the pregnancy. I was unaware that he has a separate offices: one for infertility and one for Obstetrics. I will now be put in the situation that I could get one of the other doctors on call for the delivery because Dr. Bundren does work in a private practice with a few other doctors in his OB office at the OU Schusterman Center.
Tonight I am going on a hospital tour with mom because Ryan is teaching a class at the fire department. I am just concerned that I get to see a visual of where I'll be giving birth. So, after the tour and my appointment with Dr. Bundren tomorrow, then I'll be at ease with having the baby at any time...plus I'm now 37 weeks (full term).
As for what my body is doing right now, well, it's cramping a lot and it feels like I have to hold the baby up or he'll fall out. I KNOW he has dropped. If he hasn't, then I can't imagine how much lower he could go. I now feel more kicking directly in the center, below my chest. So, I also think he is definitely as vertical as he can get.
I'm still rotating between the couch and the bed. I can only sleep in each one for a few hours and then it gets uncomfortable. Chief usually follows me wherever I sleep. He's still my baby puppy. Although, I think I scared him last night because I had moved out to the couch and he didn't hear me until I did a toss and turn. He came out there and frantically sniffed my face (to make sure it was me). I was a bit startled, but we both calmed down and he laid down beside me on the floor.
My blood pressure has gone back down to normal. I think it's because the roof is done and Ryan is back in town for good. But, my ankles have been getting really swollen since Monday. Usually they have only been getting a bit swollen at work, where I sit all day and cut off circulation. But, now they are staying swollen.
The baby has hiccups at least twice a day now. I think it's probably because he's swallowing amniotic fluid now. I read that they swallow stuff now and that's what causes the merconium (first stool to be black).
My car is washed, house is clean, and my bags are packed. Let's go!!!!
