37 weeks

This week has been all about getting things done, and checking stuff off our list. We've packed our hospital bag, and the diaper bag. Everything is "ready" to go to the hospital.

I've been thinking all week about how I could go into labor at any minute. I keep playing scenarios in my mind about where I could/would be if I went into labor that day. Should I drive today, or not? Those are my questions in my mind.

Monday's are good days, we go to the doctor on Mondays. Today was a good day. I haven't dilated anymore since our last appointment but I'm now 80% effaced. Last week we were only at 56%....so that's major progress as far as I'm concerned. So it's good.

Here I am @ 37 weeks!

Getting bigger, getting closer.

Bags are packed!

Sleep: I don't sleep at night, but I nap in the afternoon most days so that helps make up for it.
