Week 37 Pregnancy Update

Nothing much to report this week. I had my 37 week appointment, which is exciting since it means I'm officially full term now. At the appointment, I had my vitals taken, listened to the heart beat, and found out that I tested "negative" for the strep b test (great news). The doc confirmed the baby is still positioned with his/her head down - which is also super. I don't have an appointment next week due to a scheduling mishap & the doctor's planned vacation, but the doc and I discussed it and she isn't worried since she trusts that I will call if something unusual and worrisome occurs. My next appointment is on Monday the 11th and at that appointment, she will measure me again to see how many cm I have dilated (if I have in fact not already delivered the baby). Depending on the stats and situation, we may "pencil" in more appointments for the week I'm due and the week following. For now, it's a waiting game. Kris and I are hoping for the baby to wait at least a few more days before he or she arrives - we're still working on names!!
