37, 38 Weeks

37 Weeks
I'm up another 3 pounds in 1 week... Still haven't hit the big 200 though! I am still the same not effaced and nearly a 1. I have had some painful contractions the last few days, but only a couple. My ribs are so bruised he just loves to kicked them. It hurts so bad, Peyton was the same way. I'd really like him to drop, but there is no sign of that happening soon. Keep walking is what my doctor said, but even that hurts to do.

38.3 Weeks
Yes people only 4 days till I get induced! I went to the doctor today and I expected to still not be effaced and only a 1. I am at a 3+ I thought he said 3.5, but Mike said he said +. And he also said the baby is dropped and effaced. I wish I would have asked him the percent, but I was distracted about being dilated! Also I'm up another 2 pounds :)
I also forgot to ask him to strip me, we started talking about the hospital and when I'd go in and things like that I forgot a lot of things.

My mom and I went shopping for more outfits. Target had a horrible selection on boys clothes they always have an amazing selection for girls though. As we were walking into Target I had a really painful contraction and that was the only one for the day. Bummer. We went to some other stores I really wanted to find a suit for him to come home in and take pictures and sure enough we finally found a cute one. Can't wait to put him in it!
