37 weeks -

Today I am 37 weeks! This week has been a crazy one concerning the pregnancy. Last Thursday I was having clear labor signs with 3 hours of contractions and was told to "go get evaluated" by a doctor to see if it was "true labor" or not. Unfortunately Fairview Ridges (our primary hospital) was closed so we had to go to St. Francis in Shakopee. A very nice place, but this definetly threw us for a loop! The contractions I was having were 3-5 minutes apart and very intense. I had my 36 week checkup that afternoon and thinking that the exam "stirred" things up in there! While at the hospital I was hooked up to a few machines to monitor me, the baby and the contractions. We were there for about 2 1/2 hours when the contractions just stopped! To my dissapointment, labor wasn't starting. Today, I had another checkup and I am dialated to a 3 and 50% effaced! Things are getting closer! Yay! Could be anyday...

37 Weeks!

Well I am 37 weeks pregnant. I've had a couple of scares with Braxton Hicks contractions, but it obviously wasn't the "real" thing. I'm definetly uncomfortable at this point and wondering when this baby boy will come. Jack came at 37 1/2 weeks so that is probably why I am so anxious! I've been trying to stay active in hopes that might speed things along but I know that he will come when the time is right. Jack is getting more and more curious about more growing belly and he talks to my belly button often. I'm really excited to see how he will react to the little one.
