Good to hear from you Tamara... it sounds like we are in about the same position...
I had my latest OB appt this afternoon. I'm starting to eface (just
slightly), my cervix is really soft, and I was dilated to just over 1 cm. She says I can still continue to do moderate exercise and that infact I'll probably feel better if I do. I'm upset that I gained 6.5 # in the last 2 weeks, although I knew that before I went to see her. I had a 1/2# gain at tops last week and then this past Tuesday night I registered a 5 1/4# gain. It's depressing because I know that the baby didn't gain over 5 pounds in the
past week.
I am puffier, but can't figure it out because if anything I'm eating less sodium and drinking even more water than I was. The dr didn't get upset with me or anything though -- I think as long as I don't have a big gain next week she won't be worried. I still am annoyed with such a large gain though.
A TOPS friend is having a shower for me on the 9th too, I don't think I'll have the baby before then, but who knows. I've been having a gazillion braxton hicks, but so far none that have been at timable intervals. (Is timable a real word even??)
Tomorrow is my last day at work before the baby arrives, I'm looking forward to being home in a way... there's so much left to do and after being on my feet and up and down off the floor with my 31 preschoolers and kindergarteners I have little energy left to get it done. At the same time I'm not certain how I'll handle it if the baby goes late.... I'm really not that great at being at home just waiting for something to happen...
