Baby Brother- 37 weeks

I had yet another dr. appointment today. I had an ultrasound scheduled but because my growth sped up, 4 cm in 3 weeks, we decided not to peek at him. I had my first internal exam and like Beau, his head was so far down that there was no telling how dilated I am. This explains why I measure smaller and why I spend my entire day and night in the bathroom. Dr. Klus thinks he will be 'regular' size ;) He is in the 'ready' (hah!) position. She said I was 70 % effaced and more than 1 cm dilated (guessing after a v. painful attempt). So- we will plan on meeting him on february 27th- 17 days! I am feeling good except for the not-sleeping and the pressure when I go on walks. We have to get everything ready this week. We may be a little too laid back about this baby coming- we haven't even put our car seat in or washed his clothes or anything. Ah well... I wish I could get some of that nesting energy I hear women talk about- I'm just tired.

Oh you will be fine, you don't even have to have the car seat in until a few days after he's born right? :) I was like that with Maria, too. I am trying to get some stuff done for this baby now so that in THREE months (ugh that sounds like a long time) I won't be stressing too much. We'll see! I'm glad to hear all is well!

Exciting. I have another appt. on Wed but talked to my doctor and they've scheduled induction for next Tues if she doesn't come sooner which I'm not getting my hopes up for, but something has definitely changed because I now have a lot of pressure when I walk, and I was actually able to lay down and sleep last night! We will both have our babies very soon!
