So close it's scary....38 weeks

Well we went to another dr.'s appointment on Friday, 38 weeks..we can hardly believe it. This whole 9 months has flown by and while we're excited to meet our new little one, we're also nervous about those sleepless nights that are in the very near future. The doctor's appointment went well, 1 solid cm dilated, Ofie has dropped (thank goodness too, heartburn is sooo much better now) and heartbeat is at 138. My swelling feet have been much better, and both Brian and I finally got back to working out this week after weeks off because we were too busy with moving. I feel very fortunate to feel as good as I do at this point because I know many women are miserable by this point.

We made it through my birthday and now are really hoping to make it past Friday without Ofie's arrival. Brian took the day off so we can go to a nearby townwide garage sale, our 39 week appointment, and to go to see Harry Potter and a nice dinner for our anniversary. We keep telling her that after July 18 we're ready. We'd really like to have the day to enjoy ourselves and spend together, but we'll see if Ofie cooperates. I'm really thinking Ofie is coming before her due date and very possibly this week. To be on the safe side I made a few meals ahead of time and put them in the freezer so we'd have some easy, quick meals once we're back home and completely out of it.

We'll keep everyone posted if there are developments this week, our doctor did say they will not let us go past 41 weeks, so we would be induced the last week of July if Ofie has not arrived on her own by then.

  1. All this sounds very exciting for us as grandparents, but, I am sure that you two are on pins and needles. So glas that you are feeling better. Hope you get to see HP and enjoy your dinner. Love you. MOM
