39 week appointment

We had our appointment yesterday with Catherine and she thinks I'm getting ready to have this baby soon. Here are her clues:
a: I keep having hot flashes (hormones)
b: I'm feeling much more grumpy than usual (hormones)
c: Myles thinks I'm acting like I'm PMSing (hormones)
d: I'm not really sleeping as well anymore
e: the baby's head is tucked WAY down in there now.

I don't want to feel hormonal. I want to go into Labor in a great mood with my head on my shoulders straight! I guess we don't really get to choose these things though, and it's the hormones that make labor begin, so it's going to be up to me (and my birth team) to keep spirits high and not be a grump. I don't think I'm really that bad, even when I am grumpy, so we will be okay. We stil have 5 days until my actual due date, although the 18 week ultrasound re-predicted for it to be today...I guess we will see!? I could go on like this for almost 3 more weeks, so I'm not going to get anxious. It's just really weird having no idea when it's going to happen, but that it might happen anytime.
