38 weeks

So I am officially full term now! I don't think Dexter will be making his appearance any time soon but nice to know if he did he would be fully mature and ready to go. I am still feeling pretty good and functional despite the crazy swollen body parts. I plan on working up until my due date of the 29th still unless I start going into labor sooner. I am having some contractions but still mostly the non-productive, non-painful braxton-hicks ones. I got a check up today and Dex's heart rate is still in the 140s and I still measure right on schedule. They offered to do an internal exam to see if I am dilated at all - I said sure just because I was curious to see if anything was going on down there. Doc said I was only like a fingertip (1/2 cm) dilated and that they can recheck next week if I like to see if anything changes. My next two appointments are the 21st and 28th. That's it from here, Dan and I are getting excited that Dex will be arriving soon and turning our world upside down. The weather is finally getting nice here in Ohio - hopefully it stays nice for good now!
