Pregnancy Update: 39 Weeks!

Welp, no baby here yet!

I had my doctor appointment on Tuesday and she said that I was still dilated at the same progression as 2 weeks ago, so only 3 cm and 70/75% effaced. She asked if I wanted to do a sweep and I declined because obviously baby isn’t ready yet. But, she assured me that it wouldn’t work if baby wasn’t ready, but I’ll give her another week and a half and if things aren’t progressing, then I guess I’ll do it because honestly she’s starting to make my pelvic area uncomfortable. It hurts to go from sitting to standing and vice versa.

I think I need to invest in one of those belly strap things to maybe help support my big belly. My belly is honestly not as big as it could be I suppose. I was just at the memorial and all my husbands family and friends couldn’t stop complementing me on how good I looked and that I don’t look 9 months pregnant. I think they’re just trying to be nice, cause I don’t buy it. 😉 But I only have a little to go so maybe I’ll just hold off and see if she comes soon.

The other night when my husband and I went to dinner. I jokingly said, I’m going to keep all my maternity clothes for next time. His eyes immediately got big. I knew that would be the reaction I’d get, which is why I said it. He wants to try for a boy, but he said he doesn’t want to get stuck with 2 menstruating teenage girls at the same time. LOL

I mean, I guess we’ll see if we’re ready for a 2nd within the next couple of years, if not then he said I should probably get rid of my clothes. We don’t want to get too ahead of ourselves since we haven’t even gotten this one out to experience parenthood yet. My husband will be pushing 40 in a couple of years so I don’t want him to be getting too old, heck, I’ll be 35. Scary thought right there.

Until next time…
