I had a doctor's appt. this morning. It
was cute; little Tessa kept kicking at the
Doppler today, she was not happy at the
nurse at all! My weight gain is at 17 lb.
and blood pressure looks good. Baby is
still head down. The doctor started
internal exams & I got the Group B
Streptococcus swab (doc's office has my
EDD down a few days sooner than I keep
track of it, going by last menstrual
period instead of ovulation--I was
charting basal body temps & ovulation
when I conceived). I'm 1 cm dialated, not
that that means much, you can walk around
a little dialated for weeks, I think. On
the other hand, it's good to know maybe
some progress is being made toward labor.
Now, my appointments are all weekly, so
I'll go back next Thursday. Really curious
then to know whether any progression has
occurred. It feels surreal, being so close
to the end now. There were times when I
felt like pregnancy was going by so
slowly, and I'd be in the first trimester
forever! I have started to have some
Braxton hicks contractions and mild
period-like cramping of late, so I hope
things are progressing along. I know she
needs to bake a little longer, but I can't
wait to get this baby out now!

I'm glad everything is going great!!
You're right along with me with the weight
gain...I think I've gained 18 lbs at 37
weeks. I wish I knew if I was dilated or
not...I guess my doctor doesn't check.
Blah.
