39 Week Appt

I had my 39 week appt today and everything is right on track. I am 2 cm dilated, up 1 cm from last week and according to my doctor my cervix has changed alot, although I am unsure what he means by this. It did appear to be a good thing. The doctor stripped my membranes, which hurt quite a bit, but he wanted to get things moving along even more. He seems to think I will go any day so we shall see.

I do have an induction booked for Jan 4th if for some reason I make it that far but he doesn't think I will.

So things are going really well and we are getting so excited to meet this little guy.

I can't wait to see who he looks like, what color hair and eyes he will have and what his personality will be like.

So exciting!!

Full Term

Well yesterday marked 37 weeks. I am not officially full term. I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has gone, it is absolutely amazing and a little scary at the same time. I don't want the next 9 months to go by this fast.

Everything is going perfect pregnancy wise, well that is what the doctor is saying anyway. My bp has been consistent at 110/60 and my urine is great.

Our little man is head down and in position. I have been having lots of cramping for the last week or so, which I guess is a good sign. I'm hoping he comes before Christmas but this is probably unlikely.

I won't start getting internals done until next week so we will know more than about how I am progressing.
