37 weeks...going on 40

Okay- the stats...

I am 37 weeks TODAY, which means I am full term. Yay!

Baby is measuring 39.1 weeks and 8lbs! Yowzas. Still in the 90th percentile, but, we'll see. They were off by more than a pound with Brooklyn.

I am fully 1 cm dilated, so made a tiny, tiny bit of progress since two weeks ago. She could feel the head, so I guess that's progress! At this rate, most babies gain a 1/2 lb a week, so if I went to term they are thinking this will definitely be a big baby, but we aren't concerned about that, it is what it is. Women much smaller than me have delivered much bigger babies :)

I LOVE my dr. I love, love, love her. She is just an amazing woman, who truly listens to each and every concern and question I have and ultimately she leaves every decision in my hands (within reason). She said if my body has progressed a little further by next monday she would feel completely comfortable stripping my membranes. I'm not sure I'm ready for that, but can guarantee I will be by 39 weeks.

I have had several wise women remind me that "they are easier to take care of inside than out" and it is so true. I am not in a hurry, just excited to meet our son or daughter. I want to savor these last days of it being just me and him/her.

Cravings: cheeseburgers and greek salad. mmmmmm.

Getting excited!!! and hormonal. Pray for my precious husband :-)
