38 weeks

I went to the doctor today....I was hoping for some good news, which I did hear. Before I arrived, I started having contractions that were starting to become regular. They didn't hurt, but they weren't that comfortable. My lower back was also starting to hurt.

I gained 2 more pounds, which puts me @ 142..meaning I have gained 44 pounds today. Whoa! That is all I have to say.

Heartbeat was good

Urine, Blood pressure were good

They did check me and I am dialted 1 cm and 50% effaced. This was what I was hoping to hear! I must admit, it did start to make me nervous. I mean, are we really going to have another baby soon? I have to go thru labor again? It's not going to be just the 3 of us??? Tracey (the midwive) said that the head was sitting very low and she didn't think labor would be too far away. She told me to go home and pack my bags and just relax. How can you do that when you know that you aren't far away from delivering???

My contractions haven't gone away. They have been pretty consistant all day, but they aren't really painful. They are leaving me a little crampy, but that's pretty much it. The movements of the baby do feel different. I can't explain, but they just are. They feel lower and leaving me with more pressure.

I will be updating twitter if anything happens. :)

BTW...did you vote in the pool???? I will accept votes until the day I go into labor. :) Happy voting.
