New Due Date!

I had my "36 week checkup" yesterday. They did an u/s, group b test, and exam to see how my cervix is doing. Everything went well, Andrew is looking great! However, they changed my due date to 2/24 instead of 2/27. So that put me at 37 weeks and 1 day yesterday!! The ultrasound estimated Andrew to be 6lbs 10oz, he is head down, and he was practicing breathing movements. It was the cutest thing to see him 'breathing'. Then of course, he got the hiccups. :)

My cervix is still thick, according to the Dr. Maybe it'll be another week or two till he decides to come? We will see. I'm getting anxious to see him, and to see Hailee meet him. She talks about him a lot. Today I let her pick out a bib and a baby bath for him. She insists that she knows what he will like. hehe.

As far as I go, I'm doing okay. I'm having some Braxton Hicks, and have been feeling premenstrual. I thought maybe that would have contributed to some dialation, but apparently not. It's okay tho, with Cody's schedule, we need little man to stay in there for at least another week.

We are completely ready for Andrew to come. I have done a lot of shopping the past few weeks, and have had a lot of fun with it. I had a baby shower last week, and got some really nice things as well.

Well I think that's it for now, I'll update soon!

Prayers, please!

Well, this is part of being a military wife. Be prepared to hear me release my stresses, lol. Out of all the months Cody is gone, this is the month he will be gone for most of the month..and of course, I'm due this month. I'll be considered full term Saturday, I'll be 37 weeks. I'm very stressed out thinking about Cody not being here, hopefully that won't put me into labor. I'm trying to relax about it, but then I feel something that makes me feel like something is going on down there..and I get worried again. My issue is that, other than Cody possibly not being here to see the birth of his son, I will have no one to take Hailee. I don't know what will happen if I show up at the hospital with Hailee in tow. They probably are limited in what they can do as far as pain killers, iv's, if I have a 4 year old in my care. And on top of that, they have a policy right now, thanks to the h1n1 virus, that no one under 18 is allowed unless they are the patient. Then of course, it has to snow. I'm really hoping this snow melts quickly, because that'll just add to my problem if I go into labor with snow on the ground. At that point, I think I would call an ambulance..instead of trying to drive on ice and snow.

I will be so happy once all of this is over with. I'm so stressed out about everything right now. Being stuck in the house, because of the snow, is not helping get my mind off of things.

I'm asking if everyone could pray that I go into labor at a convenient time. My sister will be up here in a week or so, to be here for me. So I hope and pray that Andrew doesn't come before then!

Thanks everyone!
