38 weeks!

Well this week we had a tiny scare. Spent a few hours in labor and delivery with some blood pressure issues. Just needed some rest and it came down.  This week things have changed a lot. I thought it was hard to move before, well it's almost impossible now.  I have definitely been spending more time on the couch and listening to my body to slow down.  I keep thinking she's coming early but we all know she's the boss.

37 Weeks!

This past week, things have changed.  Baby G has dropped and I think dropped a little more. I've experienced what I think to be more painful braxton hicks.  I think preparations are being made for her exit.  This week we hit the full term mark, and it scares and excites me.  I can't wait to  meet this little girl.  But I am scared out of my mind about labor, I'm sure as it gets closer I'll settle down and just want her out!
