Just in case you wondered...
I had my weekly appointment earlier today and everything is going well. Nothing really exciting to report. Baby is measuring on track, had a heartbeat in the upper 150's, and is still head down (yay!). Mom is doing just fine as well - good blood pressure, no swelling (woo!), and no signs that labor is approaching just yet. They didn't check my progress again - I asked about it and I guess they don't check you at my doctors office until 39 weeks (the norm is 36 or 37 weeks). I'm fine with this since I know those checks mean little or nothing, especially at this point in pregnancy, but my irrational side is frustrated since I wanted to see if anything was going on. lol. Oh well, we'll see next week! Um, given I make it that long, that is... My next appointment is on Thursday, October 1. Holy crap! It's almost October! eek!
Not much else going on right now. Things are rather uneventful, which is a good thing. I just work, eat, sleep, and clean. Fun times. I'm pretty much shot by 3 p.m. (which is fast approaching right now), so once I get home from work I just lie on the couch all night. On the weekends I cram in as much cleaning and other projects as I can in the morning and then spend the rest of the night on my side. My heartburn has gotten ridiculously bad, to the point where I sometimes wake up with a mouth full of stomach acid. It's pretty wonderful. Tums help with this a tiny bit, but not much. It's more-so because I'm lying down and everything is all relaxed in my body to prepare for labor. Oh well, not much longer!
That's basically it, unless y'all wanted to listen to me complain some more... I'm guessing you don't and I have a lot of work to do yet, so I best get back to it!

do not, i repeat, do not let them strip your membranes to get labor going. it doesn't work, it's not guaranteed to work and it hurts like hell. :) let nature take it's course. it's the best way!!!
