38 weeks

Baby is 38 WEEKS and about the size of a WATERMELON,  which is about 18.9-20.9 inches and 6.2-9.2 lbs. Which is all a guess of course! Our Dr. appointment went well. Baby's heart rate is good. I am not dilated any more so then I was the last time but his head is right down there. He is ready say Dr. First. Dr. First estimates the baby to being about 6 1/2 lbs give or take a 1/2 1b. I have had 2 times where I thought I might be going into labor. My contractions start to get harder and were about 3-5 mins apart for about an hour but then they started to tapper off. Then yesterday morning around 4 am did the same thing. Dr. says to watch them for about 2 or so hours and if they are still pretty consistent then to on up to the hospital that or if my water breaks then to go right away. Hopefully my water will just break.  My feet have been really tender and swollen this last week. I swear that I am getting up about every hour to pee at night plus my back just gets so sore and uncomfortable so that makes for a sleepless night as well. I have been getting a lot more contractions that run down my legs and into my back. Dr. Firth says that he could come any day now but to just keep April 17th, a week after my due date in mind.  I finally found a changing table and it so happens to be a dresser as well! The baby's room is pretty much done. Just adding a few things here and there. Shoot now what am I going to occupy my time with. Ryan and Heather are coming up today to visit for a few days for Ryan's spring break. That should help distract. Bennett, nephew is now walking so that will be fun to see!
