Well, here I am at 38 weeks. I have now gained the same amount of weight as I did with Mya (32 pounds). I still have a surprising amount of energy, but lots of aches and pains in my lower back and legs. Had a doctor's appointment today and she says that I'm making progress. I'm 80% effaced and a full 3cm dilated. Who knows when I'll go into labor, but my doctor seems to think it will be quick once it starts. She told me not to wander too far from the hospital!
Looking forward to a relaxing weekend with Steve and Mya!
The family grows!
