40 weeks!!

Wow...it has been a very long 40 weeks! But we made it...we're here at the mark of my "due date". I had a doctor's appt on Tuesday and everything looks great! My weight...my blood pressure...Deegan's heart rate, all in great shape! She did a cervical exam and I'm still dilated at 3 cm (she said it was a "loose" 3, lol) and she did another cervical stripping (OUCH!!). I made follow-up dr's appts for Sept 21st and Sept 23rd just in case he doesn't come before then!

Yesterday I felt very different! For one, I lost my mucus plug...not what I was expecting at all. I was under the impression that it just comes out in one piece, but mine came out throughout the day, most of it was a clear color (not much pink and no red at all). I also had a tension headache all day and started feeling nauseous towards the end of the day. Those are signs of preeclampsia! I told myself that if I felt the same after sleeping a while, then I would call labor and delivery. Well, I feel great today...no headache and no sickness! Yay! So we'll see what happens over the course of the next few days...I have so much book reading to do!!
