38 Week Appointment

I just got home from my 38 week appointment. Here is how it went...

My blood pressure was a little high but he didn't seem real worried because I wasn't swelling and didn't have a large weight gain.

I'm up to 2 1/2 cm dilated, so I made some progress from last week. Yeh!

When he was checking my belly he said "That's a big baby". I asked him how big and he said "big." He took us to the sonogram room to see just how big she actually was. I told Danny if he says close to 10 pounds I'm going to cry. Lucky for me he measured her between 8 lbs 2 oz and 8 lbs 5 oz. With only a week left that isn't too bad.

I have an appointment next Tuesday and he said that if she hasn't arrived at that point then we may talk about some options depending on how big she is next week. I'm not thinking he will let me go more than a day or two past my due date. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. Anytime after this Friday would be great with me.

Until next week (or maybe sooner).....
