38 Weeks

38 weeks, baby is now considered fully developed. Well her lungs are still developing, but if she was born, they would most likely function. I'm kind of down today. The pain my groin is gone. She feels as if she's gone back up, like when she was sitting low in the pelvis, she decided "hmm, maybe being on mama's stomach is more fun, I don't feel like coming out anytime soon." The heart burn has been almost unbearable. I had three tums and two fizzy waters yesterday.

I thought maybe my cervix would be dilating now, but the major signs are not there. The mucus plug I have not yet lost and there is no pinkish bloody show. I thought with all these induction things, there would be some progress. Nope. Nothing. I no longer feel like I've done a ton of squats and my bladder is not so squished. So weird. Well, I'll just keep on keeping on with the tonics and oils and other fun things I shouldn't mention. LOL

Yesterday was a lot of fun. We went to Estes Park, walked around town, ate at a nice place, walked around The Stanley Hotel and drank tea and coffee on their front deck. Here are a few pics to share.



Today we're headed to Costco to stock up on food items. We bought this freezer and will be filling it so that we are good for at least a month of staple items like meats and breads and things. We can always run to the store to get milk, yogurt, eggs, etc.......

We're also going to a Motherhood Maternity store for me to check out the nursing bras (which is no fun, blah!). Then maybe we'll hit up Target to get some essentials for baby that we have not yet bought.

I'll keep you updated:)

I saw that Target is having a big baby stuff sale this week!

I tried some of the induction stuff too. I am thinking that may have been the reason for so much start and stop of labor that I was having. I was trying to make things happen that were not really ready to happen. He ended up being a week early after 48 hours of labor and 5 hours of pushing. If I had it to do all over again I would not try the induction stuff. Things may have been a lot faster if I waited for everything to get ripe first!
