37 weeks!!!

If the baby were born this week, she would be FULL TERM! We made it! Throughout the pregnancy there has been something new to worry about with each passing week or month. Keeping her in there and safe has been my number one priority. Right now though, if she were to come, she would be perfect. She does have a bit more weight to gain, should she so desire to stay a bit longer, and either way she decides is fine with me at this point....I say that now, but ask me in a few hours and it's sure to change! Patrick and I are so ready to meet her and hold her in our arms, but we are also feeling like we still have a few things to do before she gets here. But we will be ready for her whenever she decides to make her big debut! I am however getting more uncomfortable with each passing day and doing my best to deal with these last and final few weeks. There is definetly a progression throughout the day as well....in the mornings I am feeling on the fence about her coming now, thinking I could handle a few more weeks and by the end of the day I just want to be done.

At my doctors appointment today my weight and blood pressure were both good. The babies heartbeat was in the 130's, which is where it has been for about 3 weeks now, since she is so much bigger and very cramped. Since I haven't been having any regular contractions he didn't check me for more progress, but he definetly will next week.
