Today's check-up
So today was our 36th week check, with IE. I woke up thinking that today wasn't the day I'd be back in the hospital to give birth. I did have a strong feeling it might be next week though. Reg also said this morning that his feeling changed when we started our day today.
So everything is well. I still managed to gain 4lbs (IN A WEEK. WHAT IS THAT?!) but since I'm being told that I'm not looking like I gained any weight since last week, I think it's safe to assume that baby boy and I are sharing the weight. Wow, if that's the case, I wonder how big/heavy he really is now? :p
So the IE showed that while the head is down and is starting to "siksik", he is not that low yet. My cervix is softening and is starting to open, according to my doctor. She says that it's about the depth of a fingertip right now. :p
Next check is Wednesday next week. This weekend is exercise weekend, at least, for the time we aren't at get-togethers anyway. I do want to give birth next week, if ever. I really don't want to spend Christmas in the hospital, if baby boy will allow it. I would like to be home for Christmas so we can spend Christmas Eve all together, with Ate Tala and get to see her open her gifts. Anyway, we'll see.
I am contracting almost everyday but no pattern just yet. Everyone says I look like I'm super ready to pop. I hope I'm not just wishful thinking but I really feel like it's our time next week.
We'll find out soon enough! Haha :)
