and......... still pregnant

Well, due date has now come and (almost) gone and still pregnant. No indication that this little guy is coming soon. I go to the dr. tomorrow for a non-stress test and ultrasound. If everything still looks ok, then the latest they will let me go is a week over. I would then be induced.... BRING IT ON!!!!

37 week check up

I went to the doctor this morning for my 37 week check up and all is well! Officially full term tomorrow (I am actually 36 weeks and 6 days today) I actually lost a pound this week, which means I have only gained 25 pounds in 37 weeks....not too shabby! Blood pressure and heart rate were all good and the midwife said I was measuring right on track. She doesn't think he's too big or too small, which is nice to hear. I was told last week that if my GBS culture came back negative, I could have the dr. strip my membranes next week, at my 38 week check. Well, I asked about GBS and they didn't know. It wasn't on the form in my chart so they were going to call and find out and hopefully when I go next week, it will be negative and the dr. will strip the membranes. I had this done with Madelyn and it didn't do anything to start labor, but I'm willing to try again. I really don't want to go over due, especially since Madelyn was big and I don't want this one to be big but we will just wait and see.
His room is finished, except to put two shelves on the wall and maybe a couple other decorations. I have all the clothes and blankets and burp clothes washed and ready to go. My hospital bag is packed and ready to go to. I realized today that I should probably pack a bag for Madelyn, in case she has to go to my in-laws house. I don't know when my parents will be here, so if I go into labor and no one is here for Mady, I will have to call my in laws and send her there for a little bit.
I guess that's all. Hopefully little guy will make his grand entrance soon.
