Had our 38 week appointment today. Not much to say except NO CHANGE!! We are still 1-2cm dilated and 70% effaced. Heart beart is strong. I on the other hand am tired but patiently waiting.
Next prenatal appointment is Wednesday, July 2nd at 2:45. Hopefully we'll have more to report before then.

You're not allowed to complain til week 40! It really is better for them to stay in the whole time-his lungs and everything will be more developed. Of course, his head will be bigger and harder to push out too, so maybe not...Just enjoy it while you can...for us the first 3 months were, quite honestly, hell with our first baby! It gets alot easier after that though. This time around hasn't been so bad. Just remember--it's okay to let a baby cry if you have to. Crying for 10 mins while you take a shower will not hurt him! My best new mom advice is make sure you get time for yourself. You'll be a much better- and more patient mommy if you do!
OK...now is the time to make sure you have Dermoplast Spray and a Sitz Bath. Also, don't forget to ask the nurses for a whole bunch of mesh undies and ice peri-pads to take home with you. Those and the major pain meds I was on were my saving grace! Tell Gene to text us when you go into labor!
