35 wks 5 days...Almost full term
Now that Rush has come and gone I have given the baby permission to be born whenever he feels like it. I went to the Dr today and had my Group B Strep test done and my first cervical check. Man was that uncomfortable. The good news is that the contractions have done some good seeing as I am 1 centimeter dilated and his head is locked into
position. As I said before, that does not mean that labor is imminent. Unfortunately it could still be another 5 weeks before anything happens. Thats good, because I would be so pissed if I went into labor this weekend. My baby showers are this Saturday. I asked my Dr if it was okay that I went and she said technically I am not supposed to leave, but we'll just pretend I didn't mention it. Our OB deposit is paid, so delivering at another hospital would be such a waste.
Vance and I enjoyed our monthly post-Dr's appointment date at Olive Garden. Today I was feeling well enough to order a dessert. I had the Lemon Cream Cake. It was so good, but so very, very sweet. The slice was huge. It was gigantic compared to my entree (Minestrone soup). I ate 1/4 of it and thought I was seriously going to puke. But it was worth it...I brought the rest of it home. I will eat more later.
I didn't sleep worth shit last night, so I am going to wind down and possibly take a nap.
