37th week of pregnancy!!!

37th, freaking, week, of pregnancy.
yikes. its so weird to think this pregnancy is almost over. I have been pregnant for so long!
Its getting to that time that people are starting to guess when Henry will come.
Here's my two cents.

As far as my body, and whats going on with the baby, I feel like it could be any day. He is really low, his head is squished in my pelvic bones, and each day the pelvic pressure gets progressively worse. There are a few other signs of labor coming, but they are a little TMI. ;)

BUT

I had a thought enter my mind a couple months ago, where something was telling me that I was going to get one more general conference session in before he comes. I remember at that time feeling very strongly that was going to be the case, but I just don't know with all the physical parts that are seeming like its coming soon.

SO

I am not making a guess. A) I will know more tomorrow, at my first weekly Dr's appointment where he will check my cervix and everything. Pretty much if NOTHING has happening, no thinning, effacing, dilating, etc. I am going to mentally prepare myself for the full 4 more weeks, but if something, anything has happened, I will think its closer. B) I won't let him go past my due date. I am in too much pain, getting too large, and too impatient, so on April 8th he will be induced. Don't try and talk me out of it, it will just annoy me. ;)

AND

I think, think being the operative word, that I may go on a blogging break. I have blogged this ENTIRE pregnancy, and there is not much else to blog about it. Plus I want to take a break from blog/Facebook to ground myself and prepare myself for the baby to come. not to say I won't read blogs, get on facebook etc. Just not so much. I need to put things in perspective, and just enjoy the quietness of my home while its here. ;)

BUT

Before I leave, I will tell you that my baby is huge. I don't exactly know how huge, but its gotten to the point that really any movement he makes is uncomfortable and sometimes feels like a bruise. He stretches and a big bump pokes out where his feet at.

SO

MAYBE the next time you hear from me on here, it will be announcing the arrival of Henry. :)

You are getting SOOOOO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!! I hope you keep updating!! I was happy you put your progression on FB :) I personally think you will go early. I wasnt in nearly as much pain as it sounds like you are when I was pregnant with Elle. I think that is a good sign for you!! (I went 4 days late :P) Anyway, keep'em comin!!
