39 Weeks

39 Weeks!!!

Josh and I went to our 39 weeks appointment yesterday.  I'm now 3 cm!  My doctor did the "stretch and/or strip membranes" thing.  It was a little uncomfortable but not too bad.  Josh held my hand through the whole thing.  She told me I would have spotting but oh my gosh, I didn't realize how much.  I almost called her late last night because I was so concerned.  Josh reminded me that she said it was normal so I decided not to call.  I am still have a little bit of spotting today.  I called my doctor this afternoon.  She reassured me that it was normal.  I feel much better now.

Oh and guess what?  Yesterday was my last day at work!  I tried sleeping late this morning but had trouble.  My bestest friend Q came by to surprise me around lunch time.  She took me out to lunch to celebrate my first day off work.  It was such a nice treat.  Her precious daughter came with us.  She makes me so happy!  Afterwards we went to Target to walk around and shop.  We were hoping it would help Stella arrive sooner than later.  Unfortunately I only had a couple contractions while we were out and about today. 

Q and I fell in love with the fun spring dresses for infants at Target!  If you haven't checked them out, you must!  I'm not sure how we resisted.  I wanted to buy Stella one of each.

I've had a few contractions here and there.  Hopefully they will pick up soon and we can go to the hospital.  We can't wait!!!
