I’m technically full term now. Yay! My doctor’s appointment today also proved that we’re right on track. The baby’s heartrate is roughly 130-140, which is “excellent, excellent”. Also, I’m about 1 cm dilated, and roughly 20% effaced, though she’s still rather high. I’m right where most people are, if not a little ahead, for my first baby. Hearing that info made it a little more real, especially to Jason, who felt like he still had a lot of time left. “But I have to finish my project before she gets here!” Now it’s kind of a waiting game. We’re both excited, and I’m definitely ready to not be pregnant anymore. I *think* I’m ready to have a baby; Jason is still scared of the unknown, but excited. I feel like, through all my reading, and listening to advice, that I’m really prepared for labor, and not really scared at all. What I’m dreading most is not being able to eat. I think I’m going to bring along a bottle of honey.
Here’s my tummy picture for the week. Really, I don’t see how I can get much bigger. There can’t possibly be anymore room for my organs.
