Week 38, day 5 (almost 39 weeks)

Baby boy at 38 weeks!

Had another follow up visit with the OB today. The doctor said to me that my belly is all baby and my internal organ s are way squished.  I am at 1-2cm dilated and 80% effaced.  So the big prediction is that the boy is expected in the next week.   My due date is next Friday (Oct 10) so that is to be expected.  

This past Sunday I had a decent period of time of discomfort with lower back aching and contractions.  Thinking that is when the boy starting plotting his escape and dropped down.  Since he has now dropped I have an even smaller bladder and woke up every 1 to 2 hours to use the bathroom.

Now we just wait until he decides he is ready to come.
