37:4 wk check up

Obvioiusly, I haven't had the baby yet, which is a good thing now, because only I end up getting sick during the last leg of my pregnancy. One of the many wonderful perks from working at a hospital. Thank goodness it's only a cold, so I did something I normally wouldn't do---I STAYED HOME FROM WORK TO REST!!! I felt a little guilty, but guess what? I am starting to get better--imagine that! The last thing I need is to be sick and in labor.

All is still good in the womb. I managed to gain the 1lb I lost last week back, bringing me back up to 15 big pounds. BP is wonderful, Noah's HR is strong and 145-150's. I've progressed some since last week. Now, I'm at the all famous 1cm dilated and 85% effaced, babies head is still way down (just ask my bladdar!). Basically, nothing too interesting since I could stay that way for the next 2 weeks or go into full blown labor in a hour (only in my dreams, right?!) Good thing is, my OB will not let me go past my due date. I LOVE her for that!! She says there is basically no reason, the baby is grown and developed and ready to meet mommy and daddy!! My bladdar couldn't take it any longer anyways. Poor Jason knows where every available public bathroom is located all around Orlando!
