Down another half pound (finally), to 295

wow.. you all are doing awesome!
Had my 37 week appt tonight... all is well. Baby's heart beat is 152.. my blood pressure and protein is still good. I gained 2 lbs... to put me at a grand total of 9 lbs.
The dr said tonight that he expects the baby to come early... not within 7 days.. but any time after that. I am now 3 cm dialiated - which would just help the labor go that much faster. I am also 70% effaced.
I am still guessing Feb 8/9th.. but that still may just be wishful thinking.

YAY to all you losers!

God Dana, its getting so close - you must be getting so excited! :)

As for me - down 3 lbs. this week!!! YAY! I'm so happy with that as I did have a couple "bumps in the road" over the last week...

Dana I can't believe you are that close already. It seems like just yesterday. I'm so happy for you being able to keep your weight gain to only 9 lbs. That is great.

Dana, has it been that long? Oh, my! Are you all prepared? I'm so excited for you. And only 9 lbs. gained--you've done an incredible job! You're an inspiration to all the other mothers-to-be here.

Congrats to everyone who has done so well this past week.

Am I prepared??? not even close!!!! My dd will be moving into the guest room... which still needs to be dry walled!! We figure the baby will be with us in the bassinet for a few months (like dd was) so that can buy us some time. Physically, I'm ready... mentally, not even close! I have such a relaxed attitude this time around compared to the first baby. I figure I'll deliver the baby and my husband will have everything ready while I'm in the hospital - see, more wishful thinking! :lol:

It sounds so weird to say this.. but I can't wait to diet!! I don't think I'm going to do a formal plan for some time. I really just want to exercise... go for walks.

I think all of you are doing so awesome this January. Your commitment is what keeps me staying here. All of you are my motivation to not let myself get carried away and just pig out. Sure - I'm eating pretty good. But by coming here I know that there is a reality in a few short weeks where I have to "face the music" I thought I would get depressed watching you all lose weight - but it has been the opposite - you all keep me focused on being healthy - and that's the real reason we all are here, right? ;)

OMG Dana you are getting closer and closer. I know the hospital where I delivered. If you made it to a 4 they would go ahead and admit you. I stayed at a 1-2 and 50% forever with Lilly and didn't make it to a 3 until the morning I was supposed to be induced.

I am down 2 lbs this week to 211.

newbie weight report
 

This is my first time posting my weigh in here. :)

This week was 0.2 lost, and the Jan total is 4.8. So, I'm happy.

Good luck with next week every one.

I'm down 3 lbs for the last two weeks. I am thrilled with that considering the two binges I had. So I'm now down 89 lbs and now that I'm a member of the YMCA I know I'm going to finish this task.
