Weeks 38 & 39

So, here it is.... my last post before becoming a mommy. I cannot believe it is here already! The past two weeks have been so miserable for me. I cannot sleep at night due to rls (restless leg syndrome) and my skin is being stretched beyond it's capability. And yes, I have aquired stretch marks. :( At first I was really ssad about it but then I had to tell myself that it's just a body and I will rock what my baby gave me! I call them my battle scars! lol.
At my 38 week appt, I had my membranes stripped and it wassn't bad at all. However, it didn't bring baby. Obviously. I did lose my mucous plug (sorry if that was tmi) but thought I would share anyways. I had dilated to 2 1/2 cms and was still 70% effaced and he was measuring around 7 lbs. At my 39 week appt. I was dilated 2 1/2 still but I had progressed to 80% effaced and he was measuring 7 1/2 lbs.
So, we decided that Tuesday is the day! We are going to the hospital at 4 am and we will start the induction process! So crazy! I hope we will be able to keep everyone updated through the day via fb. I hate it when I know someone is having a baby and you have no idea how it's going. So, hopefully we (meaning Josh) will keep everyone updated on the progress.
We have been trying to prepare the house for guests and Kai as best as we could. Tonight we did ALL of our laundry and cleaned out our cars. Feeling very accomplished. lol. Tomorrow will be spent cleaning the house again and trying to keep myself busy. I know I am suppose to get some rest but their is no way I will be sleeping tomorrow night.
Josh and I have been spending as much time together as possible since we will never be a twosome ever again. It's such a crazy thought. We have gone out to dinner, gone to the movies, and slept in as much as we possibly could have since we won't ever get to again! lol. But it has been nice just talking about what things will be like and just anticipating the big day.
I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. I pray that everything goes well and we have a healthy baby and mommy. So, please everyone keep us in your thoughts Tuesday and pray that everything goes well! ANd the next time I post I will be posting on my little dude!!!!!
Here are the last belly pics. :(
