I've got a baby in me

38 Weeks

I’m 153 pounds, 1 cm dilated and 80% effaced. I’m feeling pretty great still, my back is super sore and I get tired out pretty easily but other than that it’s hard to believe I’m so close.

152 pounds this morning and I’m technically full term with only 5 weeks left at the very most. At my last check-up the doctor let me know the baby’s head is sitting right on my cervix and is ready to come out, although he’s right under my ribs as well, so I think he’s just filling up any space that I have available and hasn’t necessarily dropped. I’ve been pretty uncomfortable as far as feeling like baby just doesn’t have enough room, and I get tired out pretty quickly, but for the most part I’m feeling great.

147 pounds, I’ve been gaining steadily at a pound a week and I now officially have an outie bellybutton. The baby really could come at any point now, but I’m hoping it will be a couple weeks late. We’ve been making a few cosmetic changes to the house that needed to be taken care of before a baby moves in, and I don’t think we’ll have an appropriate place to put him/her for a couple more weeks. Everything from our guest bedroom and our closet has been piled in what will be the nursery and all of the nursery furniture has been sitting in our dining room. Plus, I’d really like it to be born on my dad’s birthday, the 22nd of May (which will be at exactly fourty-two weeks, the latest my doctor will allow me to go).
