37 Weeks

We are now at 37 weeks!



PREGNANCY UPDATES

* The weird dreams are back: I dreamed that I was graduating from college, and that as each student walked onto the stage they were supposed to say their name and degree.  I had my name down pat, but when I got up on the stage I could not remember what my degree was in.  So I said, "Hi, my name is Kibbie Ogan.  And I can't remember what my degree is in."  I was super embarrassed in the dream and kept thinking that my parents were probably dying of embarrassment too!

* I started weekly OB appointments today
- I was down 1 lb, which is a first!
- BP good
- fingertip dilated, 50% effaced, and baby is still stationed high (At 37 weeks with J, I was already 4 cm!  Goes to show how different each pregnancy can be)
- doctor said, "Doesn't look like you'll be having a baby tonight!"
- fundal height measures right at 37 weeks

* I am craving grapefruit big time.  Not really sure it's pregnancy related though, because Jeff is craving them too!  They are just so yummy :-)

*My stretch marks are starting to itch like crazy (they did with J too).  It would appear that I have a bit of the PUPPPs rash in them (The doctor agreed with my self diagnosis).

*I have been walking a few days a week.  Now it's time to increase the walking these last few weeks to see if it will help things along (It didn't help much with Jonathan - we were walking 3-5 miles a day, but we still went to almost 42 weeks.  But I was pretty far progressed, so maybe it will help things progress again.)
