    Checking in

    I am 37 weeks.  I went to the Dr. yesterday.  I am about 12 pounds above my pre-preg weight, I didn't gain any in the past 2 weeks.  But baby is def growing.  My belly is getting so big!  I had the group B strep screening and the Dr checked me.  I am not dialated or thinned at all, but my cervix is soft.  Thats a start.  My babies like to stay in there, so I wasn't at all surprised.  I had quite a bit of spotting following the exam, but I know that is normal and it had stopped by last night.  In past pregs I didn't spot after an exam, but I guess my cervix is more sensitive this time.  It hasn't been bothered since DH left. lol

    I am finally getting stuff done around the house for the baby.  Her cradle is up, she has a dresser and changing table now.  I need to wash some clothes, but I actually don't have that many because my sil is bringing a ton with her when she comes on the 17th, so we will be doing that when she gets here.

    My iron level must be better, because I am feeling alot better.  I am still tired, but that is to be expected.  So now I just have to wait.  I can't go into labor before my sil gets here on the 17th, the 18th is DS#2 B-day, so I'd rather not have her that day either.  I have never had a prob with early labor, so I really don't think I have anything to worry about.

    Good luck to all the May mommies waiting to meet their little ones!!  I wish you all quick and easy deliveries!  Can't wait to see everyone's baby pics.

    Here is my 37 week picture

    You look great ctm!!!!  I hope you little one will stick it out till the 17th for you.  Happy

     I am in the opposite boat as you.  When I went on Monday for my 36 week exam I was 2-3cm dilated and 50% effaced.  My doc really wanted me to get to 37 weeks so she put me on modified bed rest which has been killing me.  I feel like I am fighting my body to keep this little bub in there.  But I figure it is late enough in the day now that if I do go it will be close enough to Saturday.  I think this little guy is just ready to meet us.  So, once my dd gets up I think i will go for a long walk. 

    Plus I have slowly been losing my mucus plug.  So, I know there is more action going on down there.  I guess it is just a matter of time. 

    I can't wait to see the pictures of all the little ones!!!  Anytime now!!!!

    It's not you, it's the baby, but I just have to say, it's amazing how much that baby has grown since your last pics! And you want to keep her in there for a few more weeks? LOL, No, I totally understand, and I wish you luck.

    Sounds like you are doing great!
