38w0d : Still a 2-for-1 Special

well, the 38w appt was uneventful. despite all the pain/pressure i feel in my hoo ha, i am still dilated to only a 1. i guess quinn really is a november baby :-) i haven't been having many contrax at all. even the crampy feeling is gone. i never thought i'd be sad to NOT feel like i was getting my period :-)

quinn passed his NST with flying colors despite the fact that i can't feel him quite the same. i think he's flipped over and that his limbs are pummeling my insides instead of the skin over my tummy. his HB was nice and variable, and i could hear his movements more on the monitor than i could feel them...this was a little weird.

i have been having bad headaches for a couple days (worrisome since that was one of my first signs of pre-e with DD), and my BP is coming up, but it's not alarming yet. i just have to go back to testing it daily (had gotten lazy about this).

DD and i have an extremely full day planned on friday, so we'll see what that does to the ol' not-yet-in-labor thing. perhaps some unsuspecting toddler will scare me into labor if the hours of chasing a toddler thru a halloween-themed park don't!

i apologize for the late update. today's appt. was in the late afternoon and between the rush-hour traffic getting back home and it being time to start making dinner once i did get here, i am running a little behind.

Apology accepted. :)

Come on. You're allowed to get home and chill out a bit before you have to report in to your captive audience.

Hmmm. I'm thinking maybe an election day baby.
