Hey everyone! I'm 37 weeks along!
OFFICIALLY FULL TERM!!!!!
I can't believe that I'm full term with this pregnancy. I feel like I have been waiting to say that for...well..9 months! Now this baby is pretty much fully cooked and just waiting to greet the world when he's ready. We are so excited to meet him!
He still is moving constantly and getting the hiccups daily. I was told by my buddy who delivered a few weeks ago that her son had hiccups in-utero a lot and now her little two week old still gets hiccups all the time. I think this little man will be the same way.
Kyle and I have settled on a name and we are excited to let you all know what it is.....after the baby is born of course!
I have still been feeling pretty good but the exhaustion is finally kicking in. I have been **gasp** actually taking naps in the afternoon. On Friday I actually slept for almost three hours before dinner (anyone who knows me knows how weird and uncommon that is for me)
Well I do have some interesting news to share....
My doctor did my first cervical check this week at my regular appointment and.......
I'm already 4cm dilated and 100% effaced!!!
When he told me that I almost fainted from surprise! I seriously couldn't believe it especially since I have had ZERO contractions (even brackston hicks "practice" contractions, none, seriously!!) and no pain really at all! I almost didn't believe him and he had to repeat it a few times to get it to sink in. He's guessing that I won't make it to my due date of the 6th, which frankly is OK with me because I am ready to meet this baby!
My doctor was out of town this weekend so I took it really easy and didn't listen to any of my hypnosis tracks because I was nervous about going into active labor without him here (even though I have herd a lot of good things about the MD who covers him) so far so good...
I'll keep you guys posted, this baby could come at any time!
I feel you about wanting to be with your doctor. When my doctor stated what days she would be on call, I stated book me a room so I can be with you.
