Weeks 37 & 38

Here we are approaching the final days of Deakin's life in-utero. We are ready for him to join us in the outside world. I had my 37 week doctors appointment and found out that I was 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced...we didn't figure that there would be a 38 weeks picture...but as you can tell from the title there was, and then there was a 38 week doctor's appointment - we found out that we are almost 4 cm and 75% effaced. At least we are making progress. I also believe that I am going to have to stop posting about the progress on facebook because people feel the need to tell me that they were that far along for weeks and not to get my hopes up....well I don't want to hear those types of comments and the hormonal preggo lady in me got kinda pissed that people would feel the need to tell me that. However, the more rational preggo lady in me said that I shouldn't be upset because they were just wanting to share their experiences etc. So I resisted the urge to write back on facebook - so I'm doing it here instead...the urge was too strong to do nothing.

Hopefully this will be the end of the belly pictures - Scott is voting that we wake up tonight (Friday the 23rd) after going to bed and having to go to the hospital then. I just hope that he is here before the end of the weekend. I don't want to go to school on Monday, but more importantly we are closing on our house on Thursday and I kind of need to be there...but if I am at the hospital then I am setting up a power of attorney so that Scott can sign for me. The biggest problem would be if Deakin comes on Thursday and Scott and I are both at the hospital...then well...I guess we ask them to reschedule - surely they won't hold a baby against us and decide not to sell us the house right :)
