Week 39

Ahhh, another week has come and gone and I am still pregnant. :-) Our appointment today went well. My blood pressure was lower- 130/80 so I was happy about that, no bed rest for me! Baby's heartbeat was good, 138 although baby was squirming around and trying to get away from Melanie when she was trying to check it. Dr. Mark informed us today that he will be on vacation starting Tuesday and he'll be gone for 10 days, so if we want him to deliver this baby we had better get a move on! Otherwise one of his colleagues will be doing the delivery. During my pelvic exam Dr. Mark said I haven't started to dialate yet but am 50% effaced, so at least something is happening down there! And baby's head is still down, so I was happy to hear about that....

This week we've kinda wrapped up everything we needed to do, I finished washing all the baby laundry, we purchased a bassinette and bouncer, the last couple of things we wanted to get, so now we're just waiting. With Matt being off work it's really nice to have him around, he's been cooking for me and just making life easier. It's also nice to have someone to go to the gym and pool with and someone to talk to if I'm worrying or freaking out about something.

So, that's about it for now. We're hoping for a 4th of July baby, but not so sure that'll happen! We'll keep everyone updated, maybe we'll have good news soon! Love, Matt & Ann
