Baby Updates

Sigh........ I'm still here. No baby yet. She is hanging on to my ribs for dear life. lol. I have had two had 2 doctor's appointments and at both I have been told that my cervix is soft but that I am not dilated at all. Sigh, I have another appointment tomorrow and my due date is saturday. If I am dilated any tomorrow, then they will induce me that day. If I'm not dilated tomorrow then my doctor will schedule an induction date for next week. I'm just ready for Izzy to come now. I have done everything I could possibly think of. I have had sex, eaten pineapples, walked, done squats, got a pedicure. NADA! when I'm walking i feel pain and pressure and contraction like symptoms, but once I lay down for the night, they go away. Maybe I should try them all at the same time. go walking, then have sex and eat pineapples afterwards. lol Everything is prepared for baby girl. Her room is 100% complete, carseat installed, bags packed and in trunk, house clean, everything. The only thing i need to do is do some grocery shopping, and do more laundry again. I am really hoping that my last day of work is friday. I would prefer to go into labor sometime today, or be told that they are inducing me tomorrow.

Updates:
How Far Along? 39 weeks 6days (week 40) only 2 more days left!

Symptoms: sleepy, sleepy, sleepy. I'm always tired now. It still hurts to get in and out of bed, and I am having alot more braxton hicks but no real consistent contractions.I think I've dropped (thats what I've been told), but I can't really tell cause she has always been low to me.  

Total Weight Gain: I'm up to 196. hopefully since I'm at the very end, I wont gain anymore.

Measurement: I am measuring at 45 inches :(

Maternity Clothes: I am in full maternity wear. except maternity underwear. I refuse to wear those.

Stretch Marks: Well I have offically lost the battle with stretch marks. SInce my belly grew so fast in these last few weeks, I now have some on either side of my belly button. Im not too worried though, cause they don't look too bad, and its not a whole lot of them. I have heard that Bio oil works miracles, so I will be picking some up after I have baby to see if that helps any.

Sleep: As I said in the section about my symptoms, I am sleepy all the time now. Im too anxious to sleep now!

Food Cravings: I still love toast, and simply orange juice with mango


Best Moment This Week: Getting everything complete for baby

Movement: All day long. I feel more pushing, stretching, and rolling movements, but she still gets some good kicks in there. She hiccups alot too. all her movements are much more pronounced now, to the point where hubby can feel her hiccups too! Its weird cause since she is head down, i feel the hiccups in my pelvis cause that's where she likes to wedge her head at. lol She's so sometimey though. she really only moves for me and her daddy. Oh and when we are in church. any other time someone comes around trying to feel her move, she stops instantly. lol

Labor Signs: I get contractions when I go walking, but they stop once I have been resting. Other than that, NOTHING

Belly Button In or Out? Total outtie at this point

What I Miss: I really miss sleeping on my back. I miss being intimate with my hubby comfortably (TMI I know), I definitely miss not being in pain at this point. I still love being pregnant, and want my baby to bake as long as possible, but I'm ready to feel like myself again. absolutely nothing has changed here. lol

What I Am Looking Forward To: I'm looking forward to meeting my baby!

Milestones: I guess my milestone would be that i have totally reached 40 weeks of pregnancy.

Weekly Wisdom: No wisdom. At this point just researching inductions and how to manage contractions and labor.
