Yes, I am 38 weeks today, but judging by my past birth experiences and the doctor's "encouraging" words yesterday, I am not in too much danger of going into labor anytime soon--perhaps not even in 2 weeks. :( All that can change overnight though (as also exhibited by my other two). Dr. Sam said no dilation, no thinning of cervix yet. I have not felt any contractions, but I am getting pretty uncomfortable at night (and even walking now feels like I am carrying a huge bowling ball around). I just feel huge! Which is rather funny since I have only gained about 24 1/2 pounds so far (was sick last week and lost the 3 pounds I put on the week before). Still trying to work out but at a much less intense pace. As mentioned, I am having a very hard time getting comfortable in bed and if I wake up at night, I am keenly aware of this discomfort...often worst when lying down.
Little #3 moves on my right side almost entirely, but as she is moving a lot, it is always hard to track down her heart rate at the doctor's. Who knew I could have 3 very active kiddos???
Hard to believe that next week my mom will be here and the "real" countdown begins. I guess I need to pack my bag and we need to pick out a name, but as a friend reminded me today, the baby can/will come regardless of those lesser important things.
