37 weeks

I'm 37 weeks, 38 weeks on Tuesday!!! Holy cow, I can't believe we've made it this far... Now it's just a waiting game for this little guy to make his grand appearance. We can't wait to meet you B-Bug!!!
. At my last 2 appointments I am barely dilated to 1cm and my cervix is "soft" but not thin AT ALL! So frustrating hearing my body isn't making much progress, especially with all these Braxton Hicks, all day every day! But honestly, it doesn't mean much to not be dilated or effaced.... You can be nothing one second to full blown labor the next. So... JUST WAITING!!
Right now Kyle and I both caught colds, so we are trying to rest and recover from that... I can't wait to meet my little man, but at the same time, I don't want to meet him with a cold and the possibility of him getting sick. So, I guess it's good he's not here yet and we got sick now instead of when he gets here... That's the bright side. haha

Here I am at 37 weeks.

 

I just wanted to update on a few things I was reading about from my previous posts:

NO gestational diabetes! YAY! I passed big time... My glucose was 101, passing was 139. Yay!
Currently, I've gained 30 pounds. Not too bad, but that won't be fun to work off... ;)

Baby boy has been consistently measuring 2 weeks ahead, so Lynn said we will just "keep an eye on it" - whatever that means... But last week at 37 weeks I was measuing 36 weeks and Lynn said it's because he's dropped! So, not a bad thing. I'm going to laugh if he comes out tiny and it's just fluid and placenta in there when everyone keeps tells me how HUGE I am or "Is it twins?! Are you sure?!" HA!

As of right now, I have no signs of labor... I have Braxton Hicks a LOT throughout the day - they are getting a little more intense and cramp like, but don't hurt. They are never consistent either :( No "bloody show" or loss of mucous plug either!
B-Bug.... You can't live in there forever little man!!!! :) Please come soon! We love you and can't wait for you!
