37 Weeks=Full Term

As of today, I am 37 weeks along. WOOT!!! Which means any ole time now this little girl could make her appearance. I have all of Samantha's old clothes out and ready to use. We have her take home outfit picked out. I've started packing the hospital bag. I don't really have a "birth plan". I'd like to labor at home for a little longer then I did with Samantha. But I don't think Seth will let that happen. He's too much of a worry wart. lol. I'm totally nervous for labor and delivery more this time around then I was with Samantha. I have an idea of what to expect, but I just really have no clue, but I am hoping it's about the same as last time. Hopefully better! They say the 2nd time around should be easier. We shall see. *biting nails* I sure hope that they are right.
Seth is super excited to meet this little girl. For the past week he has been saying how he cannot wait for her to get here. :) Asking me everyday if I'm in labor yet. lol. He's out of town for the week for work(could be next week too). Which worries me. But he isn't too far away. About 1 1/2-2 hours away.
Now time for my whining.....Brace yourself.
I'm still majorly uncomfortable. Lately I have been having difficultly breathing. I'm assuming little miss is the cause of that. She is still on the move all the time! Has the hiccups all the time(she has them right now, actually). Still loving my right side and my ribs. She loves my bladder! I am peeing constantly. I swear I should just live in the bathroom. I still have horrible heartburn. I've started losing my mucus plug. I'm sleeping pretty decent at night, of course I have to get up 1-2 times a night to pee. My feet and legs are a little swollen and hurt. I have gained about 30lbs, I know, holy crap! I started at 123 and I am now at 153. I'm hoping to lose the weight as quick as possible! I miss my old body.
I go to the doctor weekly now. I had an appointment last week which my doctor checked me. I was 1.5cm dilated. She's in the heads down position. I have an appointment on Thursday this week. I have to see one of the other doctors, so I don't think she'll check me at this appointment.
So now we just sit back and wait for whenever this little girl decides to make her grand entrance!
