State of the cervix
So I gave in to temptation today and let my midwife check me. She said she didn't have to if I didn't want her to, but I was just curious to see if he is as low as he feels. No big surprise... my cervix is closed. But she said he is nice and low and my cervix is soft. This is probably the best news I could've gotten. I know people think I'm crazy, but I'm just not ready yet (my mother later asked me, "Will you ever be?" I know, I know...) But I am very happy that he is low and my cervix is soft. Hopefully, this means that when I do go into labor, it won't take much for me to dilate. So now if I can just get "there" in my head... Believe me, I am not comfortable. Sleeping is a huge challenge (I can't wait to sleep on my stomach again) and between my heel spur and the unbelievable pressure I'm feeling, it will be very nice to not be pregnant anymore. But it makes me very sad... I think by the middle of next week, I'll feel much more ready emotionally. And my due date isn't until Thursday anyway.
So this is Yankees-Red Sox weekend. Please, please, please let the Yankees win. It's supposed to be a gorgeous weekend. Tomorrow there's a day game, and then Brian and I are planning to go to the beach and take some end-of-pregnancy pics.
I got the sweetest email from my brother today... He said, "I can not believe that I'm going to be an uncle; I'm not sure which sounds more weird, me as an uncle or you as a mom. I know that you are going to be a wonderful mother, but you having a child, clearly represents that we have reached the next phase of our life. I think that I have to start listening to KVIL now and I'm not real happy about it." Haha. Those of you in D/FW will get that.
Oh, I finished knitting the baby's blanket. I must admit, I'm really happy with it. I can't wait to take a picture of my little boy wrapped up in it. :)
