38 Weeks!


Yesterday John and I went down to Brainerd for a Doctor's Appointment and went to Gander Mountain afterwards and the lady at the check out asked me when I was due... I said "two weeks". Aparently, this is the first time that I had said it out loud, I nearly fell over! HOLY COW, 2 WEEKS!!
The Dr. checked me out, I have only made a fingertip of progress since last week. She said that I am a fingertip dilated, same on the effacement. Sounds like my cervix is still pretty thick! Well, at least it was something. The baby's heartrate was in the 120's again, which she said was normal. She guessed that the baby's weight was around 7 pounds and must be putting alot of pressure on my tailbone. I had complained to her about it feeling like it is going to poke right through my bottom, so now I am worried that it is going to break during labor. Lets pray that it doesn't happen that way.
We continue to get things ready at the house and I am also trying to get ready mentally. All I need to do now is get alot of rest and put my feet up, Doctors orders!
