Today we had our 38 week checkup. Once again everything is great and we are moving along! I have been having dreams that we would go in and they would send us straight to the hospital because I was 7 cm and almost ready to deliver. Unfortunately that did not happen today. She did say that he was making his way down, head first. That explains all the back pain I have been having. When she was listening to his heartbeat she asked if I was having a contraction. I didn't know it but my stomach was very tight. It must have been a braxton hicks because it was nothing like the ones I have been having which are very uncomfortable. After our appointment we made our phone calls to let everyone in the family know today was not the day. Everyone is banking on the 30th since it is a full moon. We shall see!! I would not be opposed to it but I like being prepared and I am prepared for the 7th. I have been a little worried about being induced since the epidural is pretty much out of the picture. I asked her when they started talking about induction and she said if I pass my due date then we will schedule one for 41 weeks at the latest. I did get an exercise ball today and can't express to you how comfortable this thing is. I will be sitting on it all the time now and wish I had one before now. They say it helps realign your pelvis and back and will minimize back pains from pregnancy.
The nesting instincts were in full swing yesterday and will continue today I have a feeling. I usually get the urge to clean in the afternoons for some reason. Today I think I will tackle our bathroom cabinets. When I looked in there yesterday it looked like the inside of a bath and body works store! I have finally reduced my trips to once a month, but the sales get me every time!
It was so nasty outside Sunday so Josh and I watched Blind Side and Food, Inc. Blind Side may be one of the best movies we have seen in a while. Food, Inc. was very interesting and will make you rethink your food choices! I will never look at a chicken the same way again!!!
