I will be offically 38 weeks on Friday. I saw my OB yesterday and asked if he was going to check to see if there was anything happening. At first he said no, and then said he could if I wanted. Well of course I wanted him to. Now as a side note I do not feel ready at all to have this baby. If he said there was nothing yet then I would have been fine with that, I just needed to know. When he checked me he said, "Wow!" Umm...apparently wow means that I am 3 cm and 75% effaced. The baby still has not descended down though. I was in total shock, and literally had my hands on my cheeks stunned. Of course I could still not go into labor till my due date, but now I am scared it can happen whenever. When I was 38 1/2 weeks with Xavier I was dilated to a 2 and 50% effaced and went into labor a few days later. So who knows? I have been having a tremendous amount of upper back and upper abdomen pain. My ob said that pain in my upper abdomen is probably caused from my ribs being pushed out. The upper back from carrying extra weight. I have also had contractions randomly these last couple of weeks. I think I have everything I need for the baby. Today I had alot of energy to clean, but that was probably more from fear of the house being dirty when the baby comes then nesting. Crazy girl...wanting to be early!

All your babies come early, lucky girl! But maybe she'll be the earliest. Cory and I wonder every day when we'll hear the news, but I assume nothing yet. You don't look at all in pain, but I'm sure it's miserable. At least soon you can get some quality (not so much quantity) sleep again. Bulfra (urban slang for "good luck").
