37 Weeks

I am now 37 weeks. I go to the Doctor ever week now up 'till I have it. I went in on Monday all excited that I'd be having this baby like next week. But that's not the case. I had been really hurting the last few days prior to my visit, so I was ready to get this thing out. But I wasn't even dilated any. Blake and I decided to go ahead and wait to be induced. I'd like to have it come on it's own but Belle really didn't. She started, then stopped. I had to eventually be put on Patocin to start my contractions up again. I hope though that the baby will come sooner then later. I'm able to rest more now that the holiday's are over and I'm not running as much. That helps me to not over due it. We did get to have a sonogram of the baby to see how it's growing. It was not cooperating with us. It was flat on it's back! It took the nurse a while to find it's femur bone to get a good measurement. We got to see it's face but not much of anything else. I wonder if it's going to have a head of hair like Belle? Well I guess we'll all have to wait and see! The baby has definitely ran out of room. Whenever it moves it's now an uncomfortable, slightly painful feeling. I love the feeling don't get me wrong, but at times I'll get up and my ribs will hurt 'cuz it's all up in them! My induction date is January 23 at midnight. I go next Monday and if anything changes ya'll will be the first to know!

BIG MAMA!!
