Week 38...and still counting.

Went back to the doctor again yesterday. Pretty boring appointment, everything was normal. Blood pressure was 120/80 and gained a couple more pounds. The doctor measured my belly and it is finally shrinking a little, it only measured 40 cm. He said my belly will get a little smaller because she is coming down in my pelvis. I guess that's a good thing. I asked the doctor what we will do next and he said only about 10% of women come early or on their due date. BOOOO! We had a little discussion about if it were not for work coming so soon, I would let her bake in there until she wants to come out, but I mentioned to him I would really not like to let her go past her due date. 1. because she is supposedly big, 2. I told him I would like at least 6 weeks with her until I go back to work. After I mentioned that, I think he had a different perspective on the situation. He decided that checking me would help to see where we are, so he did...now I am 1-2cm and 60%, which is better than two weeks ago when I was 1cm and 30%. Dr. Copper said we will scrape my membranes next Monday which hopefully will get something going as well. We go back on Monday to have another check up. Hopefully something will change soon.
