I usually do these updates early in the morning, but I had another appointment today & wanted to incorporate it in my blog. We set a date! It's in a couple of weeks-give or take. I won't say the exact day b/c I want it to be a surprise to all of you. I will be induced early in the morning at 5am & may or may not wait all day for his arrival. Everybody is different so we will see. I've dilated to a 1. Not that that matters b/c you can be a 1 for a couple weeks according to my dr. But hey, at least it's something! I hate my exams b/c they are just so painful to me for some reason. I almost passed out today. It was so embarrassing. At least my dr. will know I'm not playing when I say it hurts in the hospital!!
I'm super ready and Derek is so excited. He's coming home tomorrow & we aren't sure yet if he will be going out of town until d-day. I don't mind since we are scheduled, however, he may not want to. Which is fine by me.
I was able to get a pedicure one last time today so my toes will be nice and pretty -only to be covered up by house shoes.
I've been trying to get a haircut for a while now but my girl is Mrs. Popular & very hard to get in with. I really hope I can though b/c otherwise, all my pics will look like a hairy monster!
How far along: 37 weeks
Labor signs: Just lots of Braxton Hicks
Maternity clothes: yes
Sleep: hardly!
Best moment of the week: I can't remember the last week if my life depended on it! I just know it was rough.
Movement: Yes but restricted since he's all out of room!
Food Cravings: cucumbers. I loved these before w/italian dressing, but the last couple of days that's all I want!
Food adversions: None, however, I get heartburn w/everything so I drink lots of milk to help.
Gender: It's a boy! Gavin Lee!
Morning Sickness: Nope
Belly button: a little "outty"
What I miss: My body, sleep, comfort. I'm just huge and uncomfortable!
What I look forward to: Having off on Friday(hubby's b-day) Easter weekend, seeing my family & of course having this baby!
Milestones: I'm in the safe zone now. If he is born he will most likely not need any sort of support.

I am SO excited...I just can't wait till he is HERE!!! I know you are so ready too!!! And I don't think you could ever look like a hairy monster; your too pretty!! :)
Glad D will be coming home-hopefully he won't have to go out of town again!!
COUNT DOWN BEGINS NOW :)
how exciting for your little man to get here it wont be long at all!
How exciting! That's neat that they were able to set a date for you. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll go early like last time!
Know what you mean about the down there exams being painful. I felt the same way, especially when I was barely dilated. They still feel yucky when you're more dilate but not as bad as when you're barely dilated, if that makes sense! :)
I'll be praying for you!!!
That's very good news everything looks good, you're in a good safe zone, & the dates set so you know exactly how long you have to prepare! Sounds prefect!
Sooooo exciting!!!!! It's down to the wire and can't wait to see his sweet face. Happy Easter, friend!!! :)
