38 weeks

We had our 38 week appointment today. My blood pressure was good, yay! Baby heart rate normal. I guess everything else was normal. We did not do a cervix check so don't know anything on that front. I mean the doctor offered, but this baby is either coming soon or not and we will find out when I go into labor!  We have the cervix check next week. So if I haven't gone into labor by then, then maybe we will see how close I am. He may have dropped a little lower. I definitely feel my belly all over my legs when I'm sitting, but it could just be my belly/baby growing. I'm pretty much ready for him to be born. I think that's a pretty common theme during the 8th month of pregnancy :)

My wonderful husband is making dinner more often than not. It's awesome. I love him.

We had a pretty busy weekend. Working on the rental in Durham on Sat. and went to a photography showing at my pilates studio and then out to dinner! Yesterday we went to church then Lowe's and then we cleaned out our garage some and put up shelves. I mostly 'supervised' but actually swept out the garage and then was like, what am I doing? I'm going to be so sore.... Well, I am moving pretty slow today :)  

Overall, I feel like I have a little more energy lately, although after that busy weekend and going to the grocery store, the drs, and being on the computer some, it's time for a nap. 
I'm still doing pilates class on Tuesday mornings, but we aren't doing much more than stretching and light upper body workout.

I have realized that my hospital bag will never be fully packed, but it is really close and I just have a short checklist to go through before it's done. You know, I need my glasses everyday, I can't pack them!

Oh, and I just realized, I never put up the baby shower pics!  I will do that next :)

OK, here are some belly shot pics:
This is today in the doctor's office. I know, I'm wearing the same shirt as last week......




These are belly shots we took on Feb 18th (last Friday).




And just for comparison, this pic was one of the first bellyshots - Aug 29 :)

  1. I wouldn't worry about the internal I walked around for weeks at 90% effaced and 1.5cm with Elijah. I guess technacaly I was on bed rest so sat around would be a better term but still imho it doesn't mean much.
