37 week visit

Kate has dropped a bit...the nurse practioner was able to feel her head! Woo hoo!

I'm 25-30 percent effaced or thinned out and dilated to almost 2 cm. which is great progress. That one night did a lot of work.

All my bloodwork came back normal...thyroid levels are good, no protein in the urine this visit, and dilantin level is where it should be.

Did another non-stress test. It seems like Kate is asleep every time I have one. I drank some juice and that didn't even wake her up. We had to jiggle her around a bit to get things going. They're asleep when you want them awake and awake when you want them asleep.

My next visit won't be until November 3rd, but I'm really hoping she will come out before then. I will try my best not to deliver this kid on November 1st as a favor to Jae's co-workers. Ha ha ha ha ha...

Any guesses to when Kate will arrive? My guess is November 2nd.

Wish List

With the slight scare over the weekend, I'm glad most of my purchases were filled last Thursday. It was such wierd timing...got some items on the list and then contractions begin. Maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't be moving around/working too much. I was more active than usual last week...having the "nesting" instinct kick in full speed.

Few items onKate's wish list...
1) diaper bag (kind of have an idea of which one I'd like)
2)hooded towels for babies/kids (so cute...I love them all)
3)humidifier (our house gets so dry during the winter)
4)sun visor for the backseat windows of the car (got the Graco type with Ellie and it kept coming off the window...cheap thing)
5)bottle brush (it's got a blue handle...I think it's the Avent brand, we had one for Ellie, but it's been used to clean her outdoor toys after she stopped using the bottle)
6)educational toys (I think Kate would appreciate some new toys...they have changed so much over time)
