38+ weeks

Just 13 days until my "official" due date. To say I'm ready NOW is a gross understatement. I've been ready since I hit full term at 37 weeks. My fundal height is now at 40.5 cm up from 38.5 cm last week. Um, yeah, so I've grown a bit in the last week. I'm dilated now to a good 1 – 1.5 centimeters, not inducable, but progressing.

Josh is on spring break next week and his season for work hasn't officially started up yet so having the baby this weekend would be ideal. Unlikely, but ideal. That way we would at least have that first week together without outside obligations. Work is getting more difficult for me as the days go on since I'm not really getting much sleep and being on my feet (or even sitting in one position) for long periods of time is difficult.

The doctor is only in Monday and Tuesday of next week so instead of my usually Friday appointment, I'll be back in on Tuesday. That's only 4 days from the appointment I just had today, but I hope it's enough to show some significant progression. I could have waited until next Friday and seen another doctor but I like my doctor and don't want somebody else checking my cervix at this point. Most of my modesty is out the window at this point, however, I am still hanging onto that thread of dignity and would just rather go in earlier in the week. Plus, my doctor is awesome. She's always smiling and is very sweet.
