loosing my mucus plug!

EWWW!! It's not a big plug like I thought it would be, just constantly slimy down there. It's like a runny nose but from the wrong end! EW! But at least I know I am making progress! This all happened once i started using the yoga ball. So hopefully I will have her soon. But I have heard it does not necessarily mean that labor is near.

39 Week update

So I am 39 weeks pregnant! One more week till my due date!!! So excited! So I went to the doctor today and I am now 1 1/2 cm dilated, and 75% effaced! I had a NST and another u/s done today and Amy is looking great!! Can't wait to meet her!! My back is hurting so bad right now, actually it's more my butt, but it's all connected right? Oh well it will be over soon and I will have a sweet little girl in my arms. :)

38 weeks

So here is my 38 week picture. I like it a lot. I think it's very different from the normal "bump" pic. I had a doctor appointment today and I am not dilated at all, but I am 50% effaced, so at least something is going on down there. Doc does not think I will be having Amy this week, lets hope for next week!!!  On the plus side, I have not gained any weight in a month! Woot!

37 Weeks:)

Yay! I am now full term!!!! Now all we have to do is wait I guess! Had an ultrasound the other day and Amy's amniotic fluid levels are doing great. Up to a 10.5!! My blood pressure was up though so they ran some tests to check for pre-e, but I am fine so it's just something they are going to keep an eye on. So I know for a fact that if I don't have Amy before my due date, I will be scheduled for an induction. So I have only 3 weeks left (or less) till I get to meet her!! I can't wait! I am really starting to get excited now. I have loved being pregnant, and still do, but with how much my back hurts I will be glad to have that pain gone. I have been spending the last few months practically on bed rest. NOT FUN!! But if it means that I will have a healthy baby, then it is worth it. I don't have a bump pic to post as I have not gone anywhere where there is a long enough mirror. Hope to get one soon. Never know when it could be my last bump pic!!

36 weeks

Sorry I have not posted in so long! My back is still bothering me a lot and sitting at the computer makes it worse. So for a quick update:
 I am still pregnant. lol. But I have been having problems with the amniotic fluid levels. They are now being checked every week by ultrasound as they keep going too low. I think I just must not be drinking enough. Amy looks like she is doing well though. She is about 6 lbs and moves quite a lot. I see her practice breathing at every ultrasound and she moves a ton!! I am not quite ready for her to be here though. I still have a lot to get done in the house that keeps being put off because of my back being hurt so bad. I know it will all come together though.

So here is my 36 week picture:
