GUYS.
I am dilated at a 1 and 80% effaced!
That is NUTS!
I freaked out when the doctor told me and frantically asked if he thinks the baby will come early.
He reassured me that I probably have a couple more weeks - especially considering he's my first.
I guess we will see next week if I have progressed anymore!
I'm just ready to be snuggling this little boy!
(and not being pregnant anymore ;)
How far along? 37 weeks. Size of a honeydew melon. (19-22 in, 6.5 lbs)
Total weight gain: about 22 lbs
Maternity clothes? I like wearing my maternity jeans and sometimes I'll wear those "maternity" v-necks but it's mostly just exercise clothes for me! They are stretchy enough to fit over this large belly and they breathe! It's been warming up around here lately so the breathable material is definitely appreciated ;)
Stretch marks? Ugh yes on my hips blah blah
Best moment this week: At my doctor's appointment this week, he checked my cervix (ouch...) and told me that I was dilated to a 1 and 80% effaced (WHAT!) sooo that was exciting!

Miss anything? Oh my gosh my hips and pelvis KILL. Round ligament pain is very real, my friends. Best part? When I asked my doctor what to do about it, he said, and I quote: "Absolutely nothing. Actually...you can get this baby out of you". Awesome, thanks Dr. Jones.
Movement: Mmm yes. The kicks used to be like pops, but now they are just stretches, with the occasional hiccups. I know no one likes hiccups, but I especially dislike unborn-baby-hiccups. Having your belly pulse for a good 5 minutes = not fun. I'm sure baby gets frustrated, too!
Food cravings: Otter pops, otter pops, otter pops. I bought two large bags at the store on Monday because I know I will go through them quickly...
Anything making you queasy or sick: Sometimes a particular cereal will make me feel nauseous. It's strange...baby is developing a taste for cereals already!
Gender: Boy!
Belly Button in or out? Out. Weird. Same old.
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or Moody most of the time: TIRED. I really miss sleeping through the night. If I don't get a nap during the day, I am one grouchy mama! Literally.
Looking forward to: My next doc appointment is next Thursday, so I am excited to see if I have dilated anymore!
