Today, Brent and I ventured to my 38 week doctor appointment. This is the longest I have ever been pregnant. By now, I had already had Ogdan and Josie. I did gain 2 pounds in the past week and a half, so I tipped the scale at 131 pounds. However, today I had my boots on while on the scale. Usually, I take my shoes off but today I left them on so they don't think I actually weigh that, but close to it. I am dilated to a 3 and am 80% thined. The doctor said that if I have not had this baby by January 4th then I will be having it on the 4th. The reason for that is because on the 4th I will be 39 weeks pregnant and by regulations he can not induce someone until they are 39 weeks along. Also because when you are dilated to a 4 you are considered to be in labor whether or not you are having labor pains or not. He said that chances are when I go back to my next appointment that if I have not had the baby I will be dilated to that and he will have to admit me to the hospital. He can not have me walking around being dilated to a 4 it is just way to dangerous.
So, with that being said I will only have 1 week or less ahead of me. Ready or not this baby is on its way.
