39 Weeks Tomorrow and a teensy bit of progress

Went to the dr. today, sure I had gained six zillion lbs. as I had been hungrier the last three to four days. Turns out I was exactly the same weight. Even with the ice cream I've eaten the last three days, trying to cool off my tongue. (Yep, the thrush is back!)

I'm about 65% effaced and 1 cm dilated. My dear hubby, who is the sweetest guy, was SO EXCITED when I called him after the appointment. I could hear it in his voice. He wanted to call his parents, and I'm like, "Well... you don't want them to start calling every day or sitting in the car, waiting to race to the hospital, do you?" He agreed. I didn't want to kill his excitement, but I also didn't want to be a watched pot. (So obviously I wasn't calling my parents, either!) I said, "If they ask, you can tell them. Otherwise, just tell your co-workers!" I also reminded him that I could be like this for another two weeks or so, or I could go into labor tonight. You just never know. But he was so giddy... very cute!

I picked up a few more essentials from Target, and put in refills for my prescriptions at Longs so I wouldn't have to refill them next week (and, of course, I need that thrush medicine STAT!).

At least I feel like the baby's room is together and I have most other projects done. He's free to come whenever he wants now!

Oh, that feeling of "being ready" is so nice... too bad we cannot bank extra sleep !!
