40 weeks

40 weeks down. this baby should be here now!

We went to the doctors this morning I'm slowly getting more dilated and contractions are happening just not enough for Charlie to be here yet.

129.2 pounds. that means I've gained 29.2 pounds this whole pregnancy so far. My belly isn't sticking out very far today so maybe that means she's moving down and is getting ready to come out.

If I don't go into labor on my own I'll be induced next Friday on the 4th. I hope I don't make it to then.

39 weeks

39 weeks down 1 week left! 1 week is a very long time and i sure hope I'm not pregnant that much longer!

We went to the doctors again this morning and Charlie hasn't made any progress in making her way out. I'm not any more dilated :/
So far this pregnancy I've gained 27.3 pounds.
I've been having contractions all week but they haven't helped progress things but maybe that'll change soon. If I don't go into labor before i'm scheduled to be induced on January 4th. i don't think I can be pregnant that much longer i'm very uncomfortable.

38 weeks

38 weeks down 2 to go (hopefully not that long!)

Charlie has been wiggling around a lot this week. Until this week she hasn't really been in my ribs to much but she's definitely figured out where they are and she much enjoy kicking them because she does it all the time. Tons of hiccups too it's like my stomach is never still anymore :)

We had a doctors appointment Friday and she's doing good. As of then I was still only about 2 centimeters dilated. a little less but hey that doesn't mean much lol.
The doctor keeps telling me she could come at anytime but it doesn't seem like it. Charlie does keep faking me out though. I've been having a ton of what I think are contractions but then they stop :/ I just want her to get here! I want her here before Christmas! I'm definitely ok with being in the hospital Christmas day as long as Charlie's not actually born that day. Having a Christmas birthday would suck, I would feel really badly.

As of today I am 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant so almost 39 weeks and on Monday we had a ultra sound for a growth check. She's 7 pounds 1 ounce according to the ultra sound. She's still measuring about 4 days small of her due date but oh well she'll grow way fast after she's born I'm sure :)

37 weeks

37 weeks down! 3 to go (hopefully less!)

went to the doctors on Friday Charlie's doing great. she's still not ready to come out. my doctor says she could come at any time but not to count on her coming early :/
I really wish she would i'm kind of tired of being pregnant. its starting to get really uncomfortable.
doctor again on friday :) maybe Charlie will be making her way out and the doctor will tell me she's coming early :) probably not but hey a girl can hope :)
Been having braxton hicks contractions more often too so hopefully she's making her way out slowly :)

36 weeks

36 weeks down 4 to go :)

we went to the doctors on Friday Charlie's growing like she suppose to :)
I'm less than a centimeter dilated so she's not quite ready to come out but she's getting ready :)

I've been super tired all week. my hands and feet haven't started swelling but my feet feel like they should be swollen most of the time.

another doctors appointment friday :)
