38 Weeks

Well....I'm still here, still pregnant, still getting bigger while my sleep and patience are starting to elude me.  Really, in the last week not much has changed.  It seems like I am sleeping less.  I'm not sure if this is because of not being able to get comfortable, many bathroom trips or my husband's snooring that is rattling the windows.  Let's just say that I'm glad Friends is now on Nick at Nite because we have a nightly routine now around 3 am.  Some of the first trimester symptoms are coming back which clues me in that I'm nearing the end.

Yesterday was my 38 week doctor's visit.  (I'll stick with the analogy I used in week 36)  It looks as though cloud cover is starting to thin out.  It's about 50%  now with a 1-2 cm opening for landing.  This may look like progress is happening but with my body it doesn't really mean much.  I was dialated with Chaney early (like 37-38 wks) and she still had to be induced at 41 weeks.  So, I'm not putting much stock in this.  Now, I'm trying to figure out what chores I can (or what furniture to move around) to help coax this little one out.  Apparenlty, I'm still winning the award for the most comfortble uterus, yeah!  The good thing is that we are now all over our head colds so I'm really glad he didn't come in the middle of all that and get our germs.  God knows what he is doing and is proving His timing is better.

I must confess something...we got our tickets to Sugarland for their return concert on Friday, October 28.  I would love to be able to see them.  Secretely, I'm kind of wishing he holds off until after that but we will see.


PS-I was going to add another picture of me but no matter how cute I try to look right now, well, it just ain't happening.  There is no way I could be cuter than this little thing with her prego belly.
