Week 38


This past Tuesday I had a routine check-up. My dr said I'm now 2 cm dilated and remain 50 % effaced. We got to hear the heart beat after my tummy (outside) was measured. Oh yeah, by 'we' I mean me, my mom, and Guinny! When the dr prepped my belly with gel (for the Doppler - sound magnifier), I told G she needed to be quite so we could all hear the baby's heartbeat. With a giant smile and two little fists she exclaimed I'm so excited! That made the dr laugh.


We (the baby and I) are still doing well... and growing. The dr let me know if I change my mind and want to be induced, she would be ok with that after I reach 39 weeks. I don't feel the slightest bit wavering in this area. Guinny came on her own 3 days late, and I am prepared to wait for this one too. Although, I do feel that baby is going to break the trend (Rick, me, and Guin were all late) and be early.

  1. I was thrilled to go with G and you to hear eggert's heart beat; it's been a long time since I've heard that wonderful life's music! Taking me to the diaper sore beforehand was also exciting for me... Seeing demonstrations of the current trend in cloth diapering and all the changes (Ha, ha)did me allot of good and helped appease my anxiety... :D
