38 weeks and counting...

I am officially 38 weeks and ready as ever to have Easton! I went for my weekly check up yesterday and was having regular contractions 4 to 5 minutes apart! It was great news, after they checked my contractions I saw Easton on the ultra sound and he is approximately a healthy 6 1/2 pounds :). Next I had my blood pressure, urine and blood checked and everything looked good....BUT NO DIALATION!!! grrr....So, they sent me home and told me to come back when I have to "pant" through a contraction. I asked if they would admit me if I started panting now and my doctor just laughed at me.....I was being serious though. I am so ready to meet Easton!!! I am now trying everything in my power to start labor (bouncing on the yoga ball, walking the dogs, cooking, cleaning, etc.)
In the mean time, I will keep everyone updated!!!

37 weeks!!!

Wow, well...we made it to full term. Easton is officially fully cooked, but we are trying to keep him in there for another 2 weeks! I got my results from the "Group B strep test" and they came back negative, ultrasound showed a healthy, squirmy little boy, and BPP showed contractions!! With my contractions becoming somewhat regular last week, Matthew and I decided it would be best for me and Easton to take it easy and not work these weeks/days??? leading up to Easton's birthday hopefully allowing for him to "cook" a little longer :) The doctor is recommending that we induce on the 39th week....that means Easton will be here in 2 weeks!!! woohoo! As I wait for him to come, I am doing everything Martha Stewart would do (although my dad would probably recommend doing everything Rod Stewart would do while I still have the chance, hehe). I'm painting, baking, cooking, cleaning, decorating, napping and cleaning some more....I didn't believe in the "nesting period" until last week when it hit me.

I will keep everyone updated...until next time, chow!
