I had my 38 week check up yesterday. It was uneventful as usual. The baby is still looking to be in the upper 8 pound range. My BP was 110/78 and no weight gain. Next week I will get another pelvic exam to see if my cervix is softening, ripening, dilating, etc. Send dilation and effacement vibes my way please!
The only day I don't want her to come is 4/14 but that is our wedding anniversary. With my luck, she will come that day. My mom wants her to come on 4/16 and my brother in law wants 4/17 - both of their birthdays.
There is a full moon 4/20....maybe that will be the magical day? I had a pep talk with her this morning telling her I'd really appreciate it if she'd make her appearance over this next week since it would be harder to convince my doctor to let me continue with a VBAC if she stays too much longer. I explained that mommy could take better care of both her and Harrison if I don't have to have her cut out of me. I'm hoping the pep talk did her some good.
I was picking up some things at the store yesterday and the cashier told me that she drank an entire bottle of castor oil mixed with OJ and had her son the next day. Hmm.....
Last night I actually felt like I might have been going into labor. My back just started killing me out of the blue. I had to go lay down with a heating back it hurt so bad. I was having BH contractions pretty consistently for an hour or so but then they went away. I was pretty uncomfortable all night last night. I had lots of pressure in my pelvis and had to pee every hour. Obviously I did not go into labor since it is noon the next day and I'm blogging about it.
Lastly, Harrison was quite a handful yesterday. He was napping when I got home and I woke him up. We played and watched Cars until Chris got home and dinner was ready. From that point forward he was a holy terror. He refused to eat, was super whiny and argumentative. It took forever for him to go to sleep (and he got put to bed during dinner because of his behavior). Then the little stinker got up at 4:30 this morning and played in our bed for nearly 2 hours until he decided to fall back asleep. He actually said some really cute and sweet things during all of that but I can't remember any of them now to save my life. Needless to say he was grouchy when it was time to get ready for school. I'm a ZOMBIE today!
