Well here I am 38 weeks 3 days pregnant and back from another weekly OB appointment. I will say that I am so glad that I stayed pregnant through Christmas though, but now I am ready!
Here are this weeks stats:
-Up 1 pound from last week for a total weight gain of 28 pounds. I have completely lost my appetite the last 2-3 weeks and I think its because I feel so full all time and just have no room for food.
-Cervix is now 3 cm dilated (up from 2 cm last week) and still 50% effaced.
I also had my growth ultra sound today and little lady is not big!! YAY! She was measuring exactly 7 pounds today and everything looked perfect. They said she could gain anywhere from 6-10oz. between now and birth (depending on when I deliver) and I feel comfortable with that. No more fears of a c-section! Man I swear the C word has been chasing me the last 2 months but it cant catch me : P
So now we wait.
I am really really really hoping that she comes this week, because Kay goes back to school on Monday. It would be nice to have a few days to bond as a family and not have to worry about who's going to get her to school, pick her up, etc.
So send that labor dust my way : )
YEAH! glad everything is moving-- slowly.. but you are going in the right direction!! ;) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*that's all the dust I could find-- good luck fingers crossed!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear everything is going well! HOPING YOUR PRINCESS COMES SOON!
ReplyDeleteSending some dust your way, New Year's baby maybe:) We'll be thinking about y'all!
ReplyDeleteLabor dust is being sent your way! :-)
ReplyDeleteAre you doing anything to try to induce labor? Not sure if any of it works...but if I make it to 38 weeks, I will be willing to try them! ;-)
Can't wait to see pics of the new little lady!
