38 Weeks and...Resting

I officially started my five hour work days today. Ahhhhhh. It was nice to get off at 12:30 and go home and rest for a little bit before picking up Ella from day care. I hope to get a lot done now that I have the extra time. I still need to finish packing my hospital bag and wash baby clothes. I'd also like to pack away all of my maternity clothes and get them ready to re-gift or donate. But of course, on the top of my list is resting!

I had my 38 week appointment today and everything looks good. I am 2 centimeters dilated which is great news to me since I didn't dilate at all with Ella. I was actually at 2 centimeters when I checked in to the hospital last time! I'm mostly just happy that all of these contractions I have been having are actually doing something.

Because all of my vitals were good, I don't have an appointment again until March 8th (my due date). If I make it that far I will have an appointment that morning and if Peter and I choose to, we can set a date to be induced a week from that day. I, and the nurse, kind of doubt I will make it that far. But of course, you never know!
Here's hoping that my next post is introducing our new son!
