Week 37: Swiss Chard

So.... Week 37.  Baby is aprox 6 1/3 lbs, 19 inches long, like a stalk of Swiss Chard.  For those of you that don't know what the hell Swiss Chard is, feast your eyes on this:


Health wise, baby and I are both doing well.  I am still seeing the doctor twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays) where they monitor the baby and then check my BP and urine for protein.  I have also been getting checked for any dilation progress b/c my Doctor prefers to induce starting at 37 weeks if the Mom has pre-eclampsia, which I do.  However, little Nicholas must not be interested in joining us yet because I have made zero progress so far- cervix is completely closed.  Bummer.  Don't get me wrong-- I want him to cook as long as he needs to, I am just getting pretty tired of bedrest and just being pregnant in general.  I am sore in lots of places, tired, can't sleep much b/c I have to pee about 576 times each night.  I just want to meet the baby now!!!

Not much to report other that that, thanks to the bedrest.
