Getting closer!!

So today i had my 38 week apt. and it was ...hmmmmm.... interesting! I got a lot of news, my blood pressure has been kind of on the high side these last few weeks and my feet are the size of balloons (I'm retaining water) so the doc sent me over for some lab work. He says that if it comes back abnormal then he will Induce me on Wed. (the 24th) AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! This is very scary/exciting news for me..... for the last 3 or 4 weeks i have been telling everyone how "ready" i am to have this baby! but when it comes right down to it.... what woman is really "ready" to have a baby? That's right, NOT ONE! Its OK though, I'll get over it and do what i gotta do and i am seriously excited to meet my little dude!! The other thing... to all those moms out there who told me getting "checked" wasn't painful...... (this is me sticking my tongue out at you) i almost kicked my doctor in the face, that hurt so bad!! He called it cervical stretching............YOWZA!!! He told me it was just a small glimpse.... hmmm great! It wasn't bad though, as soon as he was done "feeling" my babies head then the pain went away... but for those 15 seconds i couldn't even think straight!! The good news is i am dilated to a 1 1/2 and 70% effaced!! Its small progress, but progress none the less!! But that's enough of by moaning and groaning..... I am so excited to get to be a mommy, and start this new adventure!! Its just a very terrified excited!! thanks for reading!
