38 Weeks...and Still Uncomfortably Pregnant!


I had my 37-week appointment last Tuesday, the 8th, and I was at that point 80% effaced, but still barely dilated and Skeet was still up high. Dr. Bost said he wanted to see me back on Monday to do an ultrasound to see how big the baby is and decide what to do. He said he didn't want to see me go through hours of labor and have a 9+ pound baby, only to have female problems down the road. So! We went back in today for the ultrasound...he is measuring about 7 pounds 4 ounces at this point. Not too big! So here comes the disappointing news: when he checked me, I haven't changed since last week. The only thing new is that I am staying swollen really bad, but my blood pressure is fine. Just retaining a lot of fluid. I gained three pounds this past week! Kirk and I are both so ready for this baby to come. Get a good laugh at probably my last belly picture until he's born!
