I am 37 weeks - what - when did that happen. I cannot wait to see my boy - but I am sad that his time inside is coming to an end soon.
I went to the OB last night and I have or should I say Colin has made no progress at all - he has not dropped yet - no dilation and my cervix is high and closed. They are still talking about inducing me at 39 weeks though - so only two more weeks left. They said with all the problems I have had this pregnancy that it is better to just get him out since he is full term now anyway.
I have to say I am getting pretty cranky - there are things that pregnant women never tell you is going to happen. For one he is so big now that it makes walking or even standing for any period of time hard - I lose my breath so easily - I have a hard time getting out of bed and getting out of the car. Since he has not dropped I still have horrible heartburn but because he is so heavy I also now have hemorrids (sp?) which I have a feeling are only going to get worse at delivery time. I have horrible stretch marks as well.
I am tried all of the time - and his kicks actually really hurt now - but one cool thing is I can feel when he hiccups now - which is so cool. I have no clue how big he is but I think he is going to be at nice size - even at 39 weeks. I honestly think I am more scared then excited at this point. I just hope I can do this - I know millions and billions of women have done this before - but I have not and I am just so worried about everything could go wrong.

Oh my how time fles!!! I can't believe he will be here soon. Its normal to be worried. It'll be all worth it when you hold your baby boy! Praying you will have a smooth delivery!!!
I'm scared too! Its just all about the unknown..we've never done it before! But women go on to have more than one kid all the time, so we can do it!! :) Just keep focusing on holding that beautiful baby in your arms!
I can't believe it, time has flown by!! Good luck!! I know at one point he was breach think you wrote in one of your blog posts, did he flip around for you?
The best advice that I can give you is that, yes, labor is scary, but things change! Do not go into this setting yourself up to feel disappointed if things do change from your "perfect birth". I unfortunately went in this way and I did feel disappointed when i ended up having a c-section. Was it the experience I had always dreamed of? No, but now looking back, I'm healthy and so is my little girl and that is ALL that matters! You're a strong woman, you can do this! (I've been reading your blog for quite a while, I think this is my first comment though. Ha!)
