37 week appointment.


I had my 37 week appointment on thursday. It went really well. Josiah has dropped dramatically (i think) and is in the correct birthing position. My favorite part? My midwife said that she doesn't think that Jojo will be a 9#er like Abby. I haven't gained nearly as much weight this time as I did with Abby. My MIL even asked if he was growing and if he was okay, because my tummy doesn't look as big or bigger than last time she saw me.
I am going into my 38th week now. I can't believe there's just a couple of weeks left. I've been journaling everything and constantly taking pictures of my belly growth. It seems like just the other day I was telling everyone that I am pregnant. I still need to pack my hospital bag, but I really don't know what to bring. I think I might stay with my MIL once I hit 39 weeks. The midwife and I talked about induction at 39 weeks, but i'm just not too sure. I kind of want to be induced but am scared of the complications that can come from being induced.

I do know that I DO NOT want to go over my due date (6/20) So if he hasn't come on his own by then I will, no matter what be induced. I'm really praying that he will just come on his own before then. As of right now I am not dialated, and i'm not having a ton of BH contractions. So I'm just praying and doing all that I can to keep things moving. God is good and in control. I just need to remember that!!!
