I turned 37 weeks yesterday and had my appointment today. I was hoping to not gain weight for another week but those hopes were dashed and I gained almost 2 lbs in a week... who am I kidding, with all I ate last weekend, I deserve it. I forgot to ask what I measured. My bp was good. My cervix is still long but I am a whole centimeter dilated now, so I suppose I should be glad for that. :) The dr said she won't electively induce unless I'm dilated to 3 and that doesn't seem to happen for me till I'm in labor on my own anyway. Ugh, I can't go to 40. I just can't, it's depressing!!! Healing with Christian was a million times easier than with Isabelle and there was no utero pooping with him along with laboring with a catheter up my birth canal flushing fluid for most of my horrible 5 hr back labor before I could get my epidural don't get me started on THAT one.
Isabelle told me my belly looked like a mountain last night.
I suppose if I want to labor so badly, I could at least get some of my hospital bag packed...I did last night and today get Mitch's hair cut, Isabelle's bangs trimmed, and I Capture cleaned the kitchen and living room carpets and vacuumed the whole house including the stairs, which those had not been done for.... a real long time. :)
