So I'm almost 38 weeks, technically 37 weeks and 5 days, but close enough! I had my weekly check-up today and not much has changed. I'm still at 2cm and 70% effaced. The doctor is really pleased with this progress though and thinks it may give me a good chance of having a 'quicker' delivery...not necessarily quick, but quicker than it could be! I've been feeling some lower back pain lately and a few pains in my lower stomach, but nothing that I think has been a true contraction yet. I'm so worried I won't know when I'm really going into labor but the doctor assures me I will!
This is my last week at work until my maternity leave and I can't wait! I'm just so excited to finally get to meet Alexa and see what she looks like! Brian's Mom thinks she might come on July 7th because it's a full moon. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I sure hope she comes then!
We had my family baby shower on Saturday and I couldn't believe how much great stuff we got! Alexa's closet is full to the brim and we have enough diapers and wipes to last us for awhile...or so I think! The house is pretty much ready for her arrival.
I took some updated belly pics and you can tell I'm about ready to pop! My face has started to get a little fatter too unfortunately :-( I can't wait to get back in the gym after she's born!
You look like you're ready to go but you still look GREAT! I can't believe your time is almost here...so exciting!! Just for fun I'm going to guess that she'll be born on Tuesday, July 14th at 3:30pm...weighing 6lbs. 7oz. and 19 inches long. We'll see how close I get! :) GOOD LUCK...I can't wait to meet her!!!
