No dilation and only a tiny bit effaced, so that makes me not worry any more about the contrax marathons I've been having lately.
She did the GBS test and will get results in a few days I think.
Got my birth kit, which is a bit different than last time.
What's cinnamon tea for? Will have to look that one up.

Now just gotta get hubby to get his lumber out of the van (he's building us a locking cabinet for medicines and herbs) and get the carseat in and we'll be totally ready. Woohoo! 37 weeks tomorrow and it feels like it went by fast!

cinnamon is a great digestive aid and helps with nausea and cramping.

I've held out as much as I can on the u/s front but had to submit to regular visits with the OBGYN so that he'd trust me enough to let me and my midwife have his birth kit and blessing (at times this felt a little like blackmail). My next visit I finally get to walk away with this prize!

Anyway he's been really cool at appointments and not pushy but I always stifle a giggle when his first question is always "want to have a listen or a look?" when I come in. He's like a kid with a new box of lego he's not allowed to open hoping I'll just say yes, you can turn on your toys and scan me. I'm just glad my totally unnecessary visits are soon to be over.

Just had my 4th prenatal visit- 

measuring 38 1/2- 39 weeks

baby active and in great position

blood pressure nice and low

strong heartbeat

next appt is Feb 11th- 3 days after due date.

we're really at the end here!!!  i don't think i quite believe it.  but i also can't believe i can hold out until, you know, Feb 25th!  UGH.  here's hoping that this nice position and size will make this baby choose a nicer time to arrive than 42 weeks!
