Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

38w

Well, here we are.  14 days from my due date.  25 days away from "surgical eviction."  On the one hand, I suppose that means the end is in sight.  On the other hand, HOLY SHIT 25 days is almost another month away and 39w1d is the longest I've ever been pregnant (well labor started 39.1, he was born 39.2), and he weighed 9lb 10oz.  The idea of being pregnant for 25 more days makes me want to vomit.  :(

I went for a walk yesterday.  Owwwww.  Just getting my tennis shoes on felt like it was going to put me into labor.  (And wasn't very pleasant for my swollen feet either.)  I walked for about 30 minutes and let me tell you, for a baby who hasn't dropped yet, he beat the shit out of my cervix.  There were times the cervix pain almost took my breath away.  

Not sure how much more walking I will attempt.  

For the 5th night in a row, I was super crampy before bed.  Pretty sure I even had 2-3 real contractions last night.  And now I'm back to "normal."  Full term pregnancy is SUCH a mind game.

38 week appointment is on Wednesday.  Million dollar question - have the internal exam or decline it?  Leaning towards declining it, but we will see . . .
