Fully Baked!

I made it! I'm officially 37 weeks and full term! If Baby Barrett were to make an appearance, we (including our OB), would surely welcome he/she. However, I think Baby B has it's own agenda.

At my weekly appointment, I hadn't made any progress. Dr said my cervix is still totally closed but it's very soft (so at least something I suppose!). I've been taking evening primrose oil pills for the last few weeks as that is said to help your cervix along. Not sure if it's helping or not, but I'll keep taking them in hopes we see some progress in the next few weeks. And if not, time to re-visit my acupuncturist for some labor inducing techniques at week 39.

I have been so patient up until now. I'm getting very anxious to meet this lil bugger and rid myself of these cankles. However, if Baby B thinks he/she needs to stay in there a little longer, I'm okay with that. I want he/she to be as healthy as possible! But if August 1st comes along, I'll be saying another thing.

I also was very happy at my appointment last week to see a loss of 2 pounds, however this week those 2 came back, plus 1. Oh well... 

And now that I've reached full term, I thought I'd get daring and take my first bare belly shot. I've been very lucky (and very religious with lotions and oils) and have no stretch marks on my belly! Hoping I can keep this up these last few weeks and if we make it to week 40, perhaps another bare belly pic :)
