I had my first internal today and we discovered that I am dilated 1 cm. My doctor said this is really good for a first time mom at this stage of pregnancy and that even though no one knows but God, he predicts I will have her sometime this week. EEK! I'm so excited! He said my cervix is still somewhat "thick." He could feel her head but she hasn't fully dropped just yet. He said this doesn't really mean anything though because a lot of babies don't drop until the last second. I have gained another 3 pounds...I can't believe I'm still gaining so much freakin weight. 3 pounds in one week! That's ridiculous! Total gain: 35 pounds. Brings me up to 158. I officially weigh more than my husband. ugh. BP was good and Ella's heart rate was normal.
I've had lots more aches and pains this week. My back is killing me. I keep having these shooting pains in my hips. And when I walk, I feel like my legs are going to pop out of my hip sockets! So weird! I'm still having some trouble sleeping at night although I think I could probably sleep all day long if I had the opportunity!
Earlier this week, I treated myself to a much needed pedicure and let me tell you, it was the best 35 bucks I've ever spent in my entire life! I was so relaxed I almost feel asleep in the chair. It was amazing. I got my hair trimmed this afternoon because I thought there is no telling when I will have another chance to do it! It looks so healthy. I love it! So now mommy is officially ready for you, sweet baby Ella!
