Here is a lovely picture for you from Tuesday night. I'm eating some apple sauce to try to help with the heartburn.
Baby boy rolls around like crazy, I love it! I'll see his little bum sticking out up top and his knee sticking out on the side. I'm pretty sure he's going to be a long one!
Yesterday (the 18th) was my 27th birthday along with my 37 week dr's appointment. Great birthday present I guess.
I asked for a cervical check at the Dr's appointment because I felt like baby boy had dropped over the weekend. He checked everything out and said I was correct. Baby boy's head is engaged. I'm also 50% effaced and 1 cm dilated. Of course that could mean anything, so I'm going to try not to get my hopes up for a possible early appearance. He'll come when he wants to.
For my birthday we had pizza and cake at work. They know I won't be going back after the baby and they still haven't found a replacement! My boss keeps telling me that he's in denial, I believe him. I've made a binder of everything I do because I have a large feeling that whoever they hire will be here after I have the baby. Its too bad that I won't be able to train them, but I've done all I can to help them with the transition.
After work we went to institute and then to the Dodo Restaurant in Sugarhouse. I usually love that place but for some reason things tasted a little off for me. Oh well. David was super awesome and got me a 60 minute prenatal massage for my birthday. He even scheduled it and talked to the masseuse about my ailments, I guess I haven't kept quiet about what aches. Its scheduled for Tuesday so hopefully I last long enough to get it (I can always reschedule it for after). I may ask her if she knows of pressure points to induce labor ;) Don't worry, I'll be 38 weeks by then which is usually just fine for the baby's development.
I wish I could write more but I really need to lay down longer. Happy Spring!
Crazy to think that my next post will probably be my labor story and we'll have fun pictures of our "little" boy!
