37 weeks…officially full term



We had a great appointment this week. I was surprised to hear that I am 2cm dilated and 75% effaced because I have been feeling great and still am not sure if I have had a contraction. I am sure I am having them and maybe just don’t realize it, although people tell me, I will certainly know it when it happens. All of my vitals were good and I tested negative for strep B. We have the baby’s room pretty much ready and the baby’s clothes washed and put away. We are going to pack our bag this weekend so we will be ready when the baby decides to come. Our next appointment is Wednesday, Oct. 27 – so we will see what progress has been made. I can’t believe we could meet our little man any time, for sure in 3 weeks. I can’t wait and I am so excited. Feeling great and still sleeping pretty well so can’t complain.

The baby is over 6 pounds and 19 inches…size of a watermelon (YIKES!). He had a strong heartbeat at 154 bpm. BW is getting ready for the outside world blinking, sucking, inhaling, exhaling, and gripping (it's getting strong!).

More information will come after our next appointment.
