38 Week Update

38 Week Baby Update: Apparently my crampiness on Friday was not in vain... it was definitely accomplishing something! I'm a little more dilated. Still technically 1 cm, but my doctor said it was definitely good progress from last week! She said a few more crampy days like that and I should be in real good shape. (Too bad I haven't felt anything since Friday!) BabyW has a strong heartbeat and continues to be really active. So we just keep waiting and watching.... and walking! :)

If I hear another person tell me I look like I'm about to "pop" or "explode," I just might! LOL. It's funny how people don't think much about how they word things. I don't mind at all when someone tells me it looks like I could have this baby any day, or that I must be glad to be at the end, or something else that compassionately recognizes that I must be 9 months pregnant. But popping, exploding, bursting... followed by looks of amazement or snickers...somehow those aren't so encouraging! But it's okay... I am definitely thankful to be at the end. I'll just be glad when people go back to looking me in the eye when they talk to me rather than in the belly.
