Well, I skipped blogging one week. I think it was because my doctors appointment was a nurse visit. My doctor went on vacation, and is now back! I visted her last Wednesday. My weight is about 170, uterus 39.5 cm, and his heart rate 140's. She did a good old check to see if I am progressing at all. I was only 1.5 maybe 2 cm. I guess Braxton Hicks really aren't all that useful. I've felt a few long and strong contrations, but nothing good enough for the real thing. I am considering that there is a possiblity of being over due. But let's not dwell on that please!!!
Since time is ticking away, I decided to create a bucket list of things to do before John comes. We went to see a movie with the kids already, Monster's University. On Friday, my parents watched the kids so Ben and I could go to the temple, which was amazing! Yesterday, when I hit the 39 week mark, we decided to go to the zoo. We got a membership so daddy can take the kids after baby comes to give me a break. They absolutely loved the zoo. The kids loved walking instead of sitting in the stroller. Of course the big hit was the huge giraffe slide. After the zoo, Ben let me go off and do last minute shopping. And I shopped till my legs ached. I was on the hunt for new guest bedding, when I found the most amazing things for John's nursery corner in our room. That was so exciting! I made some returns of what I had already bought, then headed to WalMart where I over stuffed my cart with things to stock the pantry. The cashier insisted I get help out to the car. The family behind me understood my nesting. They were expecting #6. The husband claimed all the pregnancies he'd seen were from our cold cold winter. I got a good laugh from that.
All I need to do now is hang some pictures on the wall and wait! Everything is washed. Hospital bag packed. Car seat washed. Clothes washed. Bedding washed. Now all I need is the little boy in my belly to be in my arms. I cannot truly complain. I feel pretty darn capable right now. My next doctor's appointment is Thursday, July 11th.
It sounds like you are very prepared. Good luck with the last few days of your pregnancy. :)
