37 week update...

Can you believe that? 37 weeks! It's so weird that I'm going to the doc EVERY week, and every visit I get a hand up my woo-hoo! ...SO not comfortable.

BP 126/80 - normal, very good (esp considering I nearly missed my 2nd pill yesterday - I took it 30 mins before getting BP taken, so yeah, it seems my BP is good)

Val's heartrate - 140, normal.

Cervix - 75% effaced, not dilated yet. Softer & thinner, but not opening - that's ok, we have the weekend to work on that *wink*

Since the doc was down there yesterday, I can say w/absolute certainty that I KNOW where my cervix is, and that some of the pains I'm having are IN my cervix. Ouch!

New pains - hips, oh, my hips! Seriously, it feels like my entire pelvic girdle is going to fall apart any minute. The good news - walking helps. In more ways than one... If I sit for too long - work, driving, chillin at home - then it's serious ouchies when I get up to hobble to the bathroom or kitchen (or around the office, whatever). I realize it's all normal pains... but it's making me realize that I've got more pain right around the corner and I really need to step up my nesting game!

Mom & Dad are heading out to Louisiana tomorrow for Britt's graduation & 18th birthday party... poor child, having Kim as her mother... lol.

In other news, Carrie Prejean got kicked out of the Miss America crap... GOOD! She needs to grow up and realize that the world is changing. At 22 and growing up trading on her looks - she hasn't ever lived in the REAL world. Now that she has to find real work, maybe she'll meet new people - although, the narrow-minded people seem to ONLY find other narrow-minded morons to hang with.

Hopefully, she'll get the chance to realize that marriage should be allowed for EVERY person... I used to joke that everybody should be able to experience the misery of marriage... not just heteros. Marriage isn't all bad - it changes things, sure, but life is a constant change. You either adapt or things fall apart. Several states are adapting to ALLOW gay people to marry - HOORAY for those states! It will be a LONG time before Texas can join them...but TX is a long-time red state.
.. lol
