38 Weeks 4 Days Update

I'm still waiting patiently for baby girl to arrive.... well not so patient anymore LOL.  I am soooo uncomfortable and sleeping is nearly impossible!  I had to switch my blood thinners from Lovenox to Heparin at 36 weeks which has been a BIG adjustment!  They are so much more painful and I have to fill the syringes myself.  They also make me bleed everytime, so I have quite a stock of bandaides since I have to take them twice a day instead of my usual once.  They are getting easier though with the more practice I get, but I cannot wait to switch back to Lovenox after delivery!

At my doctor's appointment this week my doctor said I have gone from 1 cm to 2 cm in a week and my cervix is softening.  I am definitely making progress.  She stripped my membranes, so that may get things going!  I have been having lots of contractions off and on, but nothing consistant (having one right now actually...).  Baby is being very stubborn in there!  I go to MFM on Thursday and they may decide to admit me for an induction if I haven't gone into labor by then.  If not, I will definitely be induced on Saturday since the doctor's do not want me to go past 39 weeks.  I'm a little nervous about an induction, so kind of hoping baby decides to come sometime today or tonight!  I can't wait to meet this little girl!  I think I may have lost my mucus plug today (digusting I know.. sorry!).  So, hopefully that means she will be here very soon! 

We just got new carpet in our living room today, so my house is a mess since we had to move out all of the furniture from that room!  So, I hope once Nick gets home from work we can get the house back in order before baby arrives!  I want to come home to a nice clean house! 

Thankfully my wonderful boss told me to work from home all week, so that has been wonderful!!  It was killing me to make the 35 min drive (which I know isn't that bad) and then park and walk what seems like a mile to my office.  It's not really that long, but when I have to waddle the whole way there it feels like torture!  Believe me I have tried parking closer to the hospital when the weather was cold and icy because I was afraid of slipping, but security gave me a ticket!  I couldn't believe it!  LOL.  So, now I'm back to the very back of the parking lot.  It is so much more comfortable to work on my laptop on my couch than at an uncomfortable desk all day!  I am really going to enjoy having 12 weeks off with my baby girl!!
