I am having nesting issues and trying to get everything ready for baby. So exciting because I am 37 weeks and she could be born anytime and be healthy. I can't wait to see her!!! Ready to not have body swells and potty every 10 mins. Some say that they miss being preggo...I am thinking that I will not miss it. It is going to be great to hold her.

Wow, so on the 2nd I had went on the 38 week doctor's visit and there was really no change in me. I am still about 2cm and 50% effaced. She said it is ok because it's my first baby and that some woman won't progress until their due date or after. Also, she said she pushed away some cervix while doing the exam. I hardly bled on this trip. My last visit is when I stood up and bled on the floor. Then, on the 3rd, yesterday, I was waking up a bunch because I kept wetting the bed. So I did not get much sleep. I am thinking that she has moved her head right on my bladder and I lost all control of my water. Now I am wearing diapers so I can stay in the bed at night. Also function during day would be nice. Seems to be a new pregnancy pain everyday now. Just can't wait to see her and hold her. I am soooo excited!
