Today I am 38 weeks pregnant. Time flies, up until this point. Now, time feels like it is standing completely still. I just want to meet my son.
Here are some belly shots:
Just after I took these, I started having contractions. They began at about 11:30pm and were consistently every 5 to 7 minutes for about 2 and a half hours. I called the doctor and she told me to stay home, get rest and call back if they were consistently 5 minutes or less apart of if my water broke. With that, I tried getting some sleep. That didn't really work out. I woke up a million times with the contractions, but I tried to stay asleep. So here it is 11 hours from when the contractions started. They are still 5-7 minutes apart. I took a walk down the street and back and had 4 contractions during that walk. They are only moderately painful. It essentially feels like the wind is knocked out of me, my back hurts, and everything gets extremely tight.
So, now I am waiting for them to speed up (or stop). Dylan is staying active, which makes me worry less. More to come. Fingers crossed for a New Years Baby!
