Hey everyone I just got home from work
because I had a docs appt this morning..
Anyhow im 38 weeks. Some good news~~ he
said ive thinned out and softened! And
that the baby has dropped and was quite
low and he said he would be surprised if I
made it more then a week tops. (but u
still never know) anyhow he said im at ''
-1 station'' I didnt know what this meant
so I looked it up. I guess when the baby
starts desending and getting ready he is
at a -4 or -5 and then as the number
lowers, the further down he gets. So I
guess im pretty low. But then when u go
into labor your at a ''0'' station and
then when his head is crowning your at a
+5. He said my baby was real low tho and
that he felt him. He said hes assuming
im dialated some but he couldnt reach my
cervix good (my uterus is tilted) and he
said it would be way to painful because I
was already in tons of pain! K.. And
now the not so good part.. Well I was
only measuring 32 weeks now istead of 38!!
He is assuming its because he dropped,
but just in case I have an ultrasound
scheduled for today. I leave in an hour~
im nervous! But im sure everything is ok
its probably just because he dropped and
thats what the doc thinks. Anyhow,
theres my update!!! I had to get outta
work for the appts tho.. I dont wanna go
back but I think I might and work the late
shift ... Eh I hate
work~

Wow!!!
Thats great to hear!!!! Ur baby could be
here any day now!!!!!
i wouldnt worry too much about the
measuring part my doc told me she
doesnt measure after 36 weeks cuz after
baby drops, measurements are more
incorrect than correct becuz of the
position he/she is in and how low ur
stomach has gotten. So im sure ur fine
but let us know how it goes when u get
back!!!!

K I just got back. The ultrasound
measured me to be due july 26th, so a few
days smaller like most the ultrasounds.
But my doctor still keeps july 22nd as the
due date.. And he said he was going to
try and schedule inducing on july 22nd and
was going to call today to do that (if I
dont have him sooner) anyhow the
ultrasound says all is normal but it said
he weighed 6lbs 11oz so wow has he grown!
He was 5lbs 4oz only 3 1/2 weeks ago!
Heartbeat was 140 and he was moving all
around. I got a few pics but no good ones
because he takes up all the room in there.
She said im all baby and hes down very
low**** so hopefully not too much longer!
I want him to come on july 16th lol

Thanks so much girls! Im gettin excited
and just wondering when its actually going
to happen.~ I just got done setting up his
room (were not finished yet but getting
there) but its not a whole room. . Its
our den so it has a couch and tv in
there... So we just put his crib and
dresser in there. Still gotta bring up
more stuff tho because all the actual
things are still downstairs. I might not
even be able to use most of the stuff igot
till I have my apartment because theres
not enough rroom for everything in that
one room! Tomorrow iwill take more belly
pics and take a pic of his room/area so
far*
... Eh I hate
work~
