38 Weeks

Okay, so I really deserve a pat on the back for posting this one! I mean, no makeup and basically in my pajamas.... But here we are, regardless, because I don't have the strength to muster much else for all of you viewers. So sorry.Well, there have been moments of concern on my behalf recently, but it seems everytime I get to an appointment to voice my concerns, this little one makes me look like a fool. He's been switchin' places on me, going somewhere between transverse and oblique (I've noticed by way of strong hiccups in my ribs and whatnot) fairly frequently and with it being this late in the game, it gets me worried. Nonetheless, EVERY time I get to an appointment, the little guy is head down in the pelvis. Such a silly boy or silly momma, take your pick! At today's appointment, things were totally great. Everything is good. His heart rate was between 120-140bpm and I opted to skip the exam. For awhile the last couple of weeks I thought he might come early with various symptoms, but now, I'm feeling quite the opposite. I actually think we're gonna drag this one out. At last weeks appointment (37 weeks) I was somewhere between 1-2 cm dialated but his head was high up and not much to report, but it was accompanied by other symptoms, and that's why I thought we might get an early arrival. Now, I'm thinking we might get to the due date, or with me, after the due date would not be surprising. So there you have it. There's less movement today, he's settled down a bit more, and now we wait. I may post again, but no promises here. I mean, I didn't even manage to get dressed for this picture.....
