2 Days Shy, 39 Weeks

It's lookin' like we 'dropped' folks. My 'shelf' isn't as high and my belly button is pointing more to the south! Ha! She's getting ready! We so cannot wait!

Doc Update

Hello all! Just wanted to let you know that yesterday's doc appointment went just fine! We are measuring a week 'big' at 39cm. My weight is pretty much the same - I think I am maxed out now! Woohoo! We are still 1cm dilated, BUT 70% effaced; so that is good. And, I am pretty sure that I 'dropped' yesterday - seems like my belly is much lower and I am waddling more (could that be possible?). I'll try to post a pic this weekend...will have to dig the camera out of the hospital bag!

37 Weeks

37 Weeks and technically, 'full-term'! Woohoo! So any time now! Maybe this will be our last preggo post!!!???

Our past two doc appointments have gone very well. Really no change in weight, BP is excellent, Charlotte's heartbeat is still in the 140's and strong, and we're measuring perfectly! Her head is down and pretty much locked, loaded and ready. Oh?! And, we are 1cm dilated. I asked the doc if that was in any way a predictor of when she may be here and, unfortunately, it's not. But, hey! Progress is progress (we were only a smidge of a fingertip dilated at 36 weeks)!

I feel more and more exhausted every day and AM SO READY to not be pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I have LOVED every minute of our pregnancy (except for those 6 weeks of all-day nausea), but it is time now. We are ready (as ready as we think we can be anyways) to meet our little lady. So ready, in fact, that we took a trip to Scalini's last night for the infamous, labor-inducing eggplant parmesan.

Keep your fingers crossed! Our bags are already packed and we'll be sure to keep ya'll updated!
